Chapter 90: The Devil and the Wheel of Fortune
(Thank you for the reward of book friend 46 sauce~ Ah, it's finally a holiday, from today onwards, you should be able to have a happy double watch, perhaps, you can challenge the legendary three watch party?) )
Today, it's a good day.
Sinloth sat carelessly on his horse, his black eyes staring straight at the clouds floating freely in the air, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Lin Dengwan drove the carriage and followed the lord slowly. The four female knights scattered in all directions, bringing the entire team under their protection.
In addition to these original members, Xinluo and his party, when they returned, there were two more uninvited guests. If he could, Sinloth really didn't want to see these two guys, but out of various concerns. The baron had no choice but to sandwich him between them and walk together.
"My captain, seeing you so careless, your soul is about to leave your body. Ah, yes, such an excellent eldest lady, if it were me, she would be tempted. The shy girl offered a sincere kiss to the boy she loved on the occasion of parting. Oh, that's really a plot that only happens in Greek dramas. But now she's going to Brittany, and you're going back to Desmond. O my lord, what shall be done? ”
The blue-haired Count dragged a long tune, imitating the tune of the play, and his handsome face was full of urgency. This earl from Lori seems to have really taken the events of that day seriously, and he has to pester Cynlos these days to join his Knights of the Stockings. Even the baron, who wanted to return to Desmond after waiting for someone, was so stubborn that he was entangled in it.
Originally, the words of the Count would have been beneficial and harmless to the Baron from any point of view. So far, this personable man has never shown any ill will towards the baron. However, the gentleman in his attributes is really unreassuring.
Sinloth didn't answer, just rolled his eyes at the Count. After getting along for the past few days, everyone can be regarded as having some understanding of each other. This earl has a lot of energy, and he is also very funny, and if he makes a little joke with him, he will never be angry.
The Count joined the Baron's Knights, and I really didn't know what he was thinking.
The other man, who had not said anything, saw Sinlos roll his eyes at the Earl, and also pulled the reins of the horse, and approached some of the two of them. The man with black hair and red eyes, dressed rigorously, like an old aristocratic butler, said in an elegant and deep voice: "Your Excellency Blobran, a truly elegant hunter, will not keep an eye on his prey. Such a move will only reveal his goal from the beginning. Like a spider, make your own web, wait silently, and kill with one blow at the right time. ”
"Ha, that's really in line with the philosophy of the Hebrews. But have you become a loyal dog of the empire so quickly? For the sake of their own masters, dare to show their fangs to anyone? ”
No one likes a two-faced guy, and besides, you can't expect an imperial nobleman to have any good attitude towards a Hebrew. Under the constant exaggeration of the empire and the church for thousands of years, the Hebrews have long been demonized in the impression of the people of the empire. There are very few people who can patiently bargain with them like Sinloth. Rather than useless words, the victors prefer to use their own weapons to obtain the blood, tears and wealth of the losers.
Bloblan, perhaps half of the moderate, is sympathetic to a people who have endured so much hardship. But he is also quite dissatisfied with the way men behave like businessmen who instantly change their camps.
Yes, the dark-haired man who spoke was a Hebrew of pure blood. And he was the product of a trade between Sinroth and the Hebrew elders.
Acquire land that belongs only to the Hebrews themselves. Such a feed that even the most sustained and seasoned Hebrew elder could not keep a steady mind. That's why they didn't come to consult with Sinloth for a long time. If you can't maintain a calm mind before the negotiation starts, then the negotiation can be said to have failed.
And the elders, after several days of endless quarrels, finally reached a consensus on the last day of the baron's half-moon term, and sent the best young men of the clan.
Sinloth's conditions were largely accepted. Although the conditions of the baron were not undemanding, they were not unbearable compared to the land. The baron was also quite satisfied with this, he was originally a lion with a big mouth, and it can be said that he could not expect the current results, and he did not plan to ask for anything more. As for those things, because of the lack of liquidity, the gold coins had to be paid in installments; And some of the gold coins had to be discounted with equivalent materials and other small conditions, and the baron generously ignored them.
There was only one thing that the baron never understood. The young Hebrew did not accept his knighthood, but instead wished to become his steward. The lord thought about it, and he couldn't figure out the joints, but he couldn't help it.
Anyway, limited to the agreement, the knight will still give it to him. He doesn't want to be a knight, so he shouldn't be. It's easier to only give a knight status.
"I am indeed a Hebrew, but before that I was the steward of the family of Van Zhuo. In any case, this fact cannot be changed. In the presence of the Lord, I swore that I would guard the glory of Van Zhuo until my soul left this world. ”
"I hope so, Phosdath."
"Yes, sir. Also, you can call me Claude. ”
The black-haired man's pale face did not show the slightest blood. As he said so, his red pupils staring at Sinloth with a frenzied look in his eyes. The mad red color seemed to engulf Sinloth.
Sinloth silently turned his head away, not looking at his butler. So, Blubrand is a gentleman, but this young butler, who seems to be loyal and sophisticated, is not a good stubble!
Name: Claude Versdas
Strength: 12, Constitution: 12, Agility: 15, Intelligence: 13, Will: 14
Traits: Infidel, Loyal, Deacon, Spider (??? ), the demon (??? )
Heretics: The people of the saint Rudas, although in essence, Hebrewism and Cruciception are of the same origin, and even the scriptures are very similar, and they believe in the same god. But religious wars are more terrible than secular wars. For some reason, the saint was defiled as a traitor, and the sect he founded naturally became a heresy. Although the Pope did not exterminate the Hebrews because of the reconciliation of the Emperor, the Pope issued a ban on them to return to their homeland for eternity. The enmity between the Hebrews and the cross was thus forged and can never be resolved.
Deacon: An excellent steward, no matter how huge the castle is, it can be easily and well maintained.
It is worthy of being an excellent young man selected by the Hebrew elders, and this attribute is far higher than that of ordinary knights. And the trait of loyalty can also make Xinluo feel at ease to use him.
It's just that the latter two traits are really cared about.
There is no doubt that Claude was a pure-blooded Hebrew. The Hebrews, who claim to be descendants of saints and have been trying to maintain the purity of their bloodline, will never have anything to do with the demons. What's more, it's a descendant of the demon race. But that demon is worth scrutinizing.
Also, what the hell is that spider?
Qualities with question marks are not visible attributes. After thinking for a long time, Xinluo let go. He still has a lot of things to think about now, this unawakened trait, when he awakens, he will naturally know.
It's just that I've been in this world for a while, and I've seen many qualities with question marks one after another. The baron had a vague feeling that he could make them into a tarot deck - probably an illusion.
There are no tarot cards in this world.
Sinloth pondered for a long time, and the kiss of Shanaiduo before leaving completely disrupted his heart, and he couldn't calm down. It is undoubtedly very bad for the baron to be unable to concentrate on what he is doing. Eventually, the baron decided to consult Blubran. This nobleman, who has walked all the way from the east of the empire to the west of the empire, must have had considerable life experience, and may be able to solve his puzzles - Ellie and Nanorka are still too young, and Lin Dengwan seems to have a lot of experience, but he always feels that this kind of question should not be asked such a big man. As for Arian Hurd and several of her followers
How can a guy with the characteristics of [Steel Leftover Girl] ever fall in love, hahahahaha
"Do you know, Lord Blobland, what love is like?"
"Oh, finally admit it, my captain. But Miss Shanaido is so charming, it's normal for you to be tempted. The Count dragged out his tune again and began his aria: "A man knows how foolish it is to indulge in love, but after laughing at the shallowness and boredom of others, he will slap himself in the face and fall into the tender arms of love."
"If love has no bitterness, where does the sweetness come from? If there are no tears in love, where does laughter come from? Love is mysterious, precious, necessary, without him, there is only a piece of dry grass in the world, a strip of yellow sand, crying for love and fainting is tasteful, real! People don't want to get the freedom of love, the freedom of a qiē is fake, if people don't have the love of the sexes, a qiē love is empty"
The Earl undoubtedly has an unusually rich life experience of love, and he is also very happy to share it with the Baron. But the baron had to interrupt his recitation for a moment—it was really long, so annoying.
"Lord Blubran, I mean you know, Shanaido is only twelve years old. I thought, yes, maybe just out of excitement, maybe out of gratitude. After all, I avoided her embarrassment, well, it should be. ”
The baron explained indiscriminately, and even he didn't believe it.
During the period of the ancient empire, the unprecedented economic prosperity of the great unified countries also led to unprecedented cultural development. At the same time, people's minds have become extremely open-minded - for example, the bathhouses of the royal capital during the ancient empire were full of strong human traces. Male and female, male male, female female, male male, male male, female female
Of course, that was the ancient empire. Thanks to the efforts of a tyrant, the Eastern and Western Empires were eventually reunited. But the female tyrant apparently could not approve of such an indulgent lifestyle. After hanging hundreds of nobles in one go, her will was finally carried out, which continues to this day.
Ellie's dress, Madame Butterfly's feather fan in front of her face, and the veil on Shanaido's face are all a continuation of the will of the female tyrant.
Shanaiduo, who abides by the rules of the ages, how could he casually kiss a strange man! Salian is a wealthy family of the HRE, how could he allow such a corrupt thing to happen!
so
"Now, Captain, there is no doubt that Miss Sarien has a crush on you."
The Earl restrained his smile, his face unusually stern. The solemnity in the earl's eyes silently told the baron, he was not joking: "Love may sometimes be very sudden, but when the angel of fate comes, all we can do is to accept her, not to resist her." Do you say yes, Captain? ”
"You're right, Lord Blobland, thank you."
【Your spring has arrived!】 The angel of your destiny has descended! What are you waiting for? At the moment, you're not fighting alone! The father of the nation, Julius Caesar, and the head of the Third Reich are watching you! 】
"Hmm,Lori control or something.,These people have all kinds of reasons."
[If a woman is seventeen and does not marry, her parents are guilty; If the husband does not marry twenty, his parents are guilty. 】
"Well, the passage in Chinese. If you go to the country, the distance is too far to be discussed together."
[Long live the Imperial Code!] At the age of twelve, a woman can consummate her marriage with the blessing of the Empire and the Church! 】
"Well, that's what the Imperial Code says. Really"
Cynlos struggled, twelve years old, he would break his third leg if he said it, and then he would be dragged out and shot for ten minutes, but if he missed it like this, it was really not what he wanted.
so
The baron comforted himself in this way, and finally made up his mind. The throbbing in his heart that he had never felt before, he couldn't fake it at all, and he couldn't go against his heart. But just shooting directly at a little girl like this is really challenging his moral bottom line - although since coming to this world, that thing has been going down like crazy.
"Anyway, let's write her a letter first. We're still young, and our days are still long. In five or six years, it'll probably be"
Thinking of this, Sinloth no longer hesitated, and the young baron flicked his horsewhip and ran into the distance amid the exclamation of Arian Hurd. The knights and royals had no choice but to whip and chase after the mad lord.
[On the still, dark water where the stars slump, white Ophelia floated like a great lily, lying in her slender gauze and drifting very slowly, and the hunter's horn was heard in the far woods. For more than a thousand years, Melancholy Ophelia
Like a white ghost flowing through this long river of black; For more than a thousand years, her gentle madness, whispering her love songs in the evening breeze. The breeze kissed her room, and scattered her long gauze scarf into a flower crown, and the water waves shook it softly; The trembling willow wept over her shoulder,
The reeds poured out over her dreamy wide sky**. Broken wicker crumbled around her and sighed; She had awakened a nest on a sleepy alder, and a flutter of wings escaped from it, and a mysterious song fell from the golden stars.
The merciless and cold voice echoed in the baron's ears. And the baron's ears, shrouded in the wind, could not hear the ancient murmur
