It wasn't until nearly dusk that Sinloth woke up from his stupor.

"Hmm, you really can't get too much wine on it, why do so many people like wine?" The young man didn't know what it was like to be sad, so he covered his head and got up from the bed. Even though it was yesterday, the residual alcohol still made his head swell for a while.

"Your Excellency, you're awake." The head maid who pushed the door in saw Xinlos staggering to his feet, and hurriedly came over to support the lord, "Please don't force yourself. ”

"It's out of the way, Bismal, are they awake?" According to Sinloth's plan, after presiding over the autumn harvest festival, he rushed to North Munster to attend the appointment. Since you have promised the other party, you must not break the contract.

If you move quickly, you might even be able to catch the autumn harvest festival in North Munster. The autumn harvest festival in the royal capital will last for half a month, and even if North Munster does not reach that scale, there will always be five or six days.

An autumn harvest festival like Desmond, which ends in one day, is really a big deal, even if you don't do anything, it's good to just go and see the experience of the rising host.

"Lord Bismalko"

Sinloth held the cup in his right elbow and brushed his teeth as he walked. The branch fibers of the toothbrush are abundant, and it doesn't feel bad to use when dipped in bone meal.

Ever since he killed an enemy with his mouth in the White Mist melee, Cynroth brushed his teeth whenever he had spare time. Stubborn pride sustains his spirit, keeping him from regretting killing a member of his kind. But the smell of the blood of his fellow tribe remained in his throat forever and lasted for a long time.

"Hey, 54213, what happened after I got drunk last night, why do I feel a little pain in my head?"

[In a half-dream, half-awake, you came to a strange place in a daze. It was a huge room, and countless silk threads were gathered on a huge spinning wheel, and the pure white silk threads were automatically woven into countless pictures. There is sorrow, there is joy, and all kinds of things in the world are in it. You open your alcohol-burning eyes wide and try to see the picture clearly, but you fail. You grab a piece of cloth in your hand and hold it up in front of you, just then you hear a call from behind you.

"Let go of that, that's not what you should touch."

You mutter, burp, and turn around to see three crazy women with their hair scattered. You turn around nonchalantly and go on with your business.

"Please, put it down."

The women are still pleading, but this does not impress you in the slightest. You laugh loudly at the weak women, still trying to see the picture on the cloth. One of the women seems to have lost her patience and slams the spindle in her hand on your head, and you are caught off guard by the sneak attack and knocks you to the ground. In the exclamation of the women, you knelt weakly on the cloth, and in a trance, you saw countless silk threads rolling towards you, rolling yourself into a white cocoon. 】

"Your nonsense today is so long, I'm a little unaccustomed to it, let's make it shorter in the future."

"Okay."

Sinlos found that, in fact, excluding the occasional poisonous tongue, the ball of light is very good at talking. It is only when he faces this inexplicable existence that he has the only intersection with his former self that he will say what is in his heart. There are some secrets, even if it's Ellie, he doesn't plan to tell.

All the past has passed away with the wind. It's false to say that he is not sad, but what can he do? As an ant, Sinloth is self-aware. The only thing we can count on now is that the two unknown beings are really as powerful as the ball of light said.

Xinluo thought wildly and came to the martial arts training ground. Here, as Robert said, I saw a few knights who were drinking.

"Yo, everyone's in a good mood."

"Won't you have a drink, Lord Sinloth?"

Roland, blushing from his face, sat on the ground, holding his glass aloof, and shouted at Sinloth. And Gino and Ruziano beside him were obviously drunk, and the two good friends were hooking their shoulders and shouting something together, and Cynlos listened to a few words and found that he didn't know what he meant at all, but these two guys obviously didn't have this problem, and the young knight even let out a hearty laugh occasionally, and he didn't know how the two of them communicated.

"Ah, it's Lord Sinloth," the silent Bismal could hear a red-eyed Jeremiah whisper, occasionally taking a sip of ale. Bismal's face was cold, and he couldn't really see what was really going on in his heart. The knight was silent, and when he saw Sinloth coming, he quickly got up and saluted.

"Relax, Bismar Keqing." Sinloth waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to stop. Sinloth sat down beside Bismalko: "Everyone is happy, let's relax together today." ”

Bismar kneaned, nodded in agreement.

Originally, Sinloth planned to set off today, but when he saw the knights like this, he simply let go. It's just a day off, and it's nothing, and you won't miss a big thing.

So Sinlos sat down on the ground and talked to the knights. Perhaps because of the alcohol, the knights lost their previous restraints, and even Bismarck talked a lot more than usual. Sinloth listened to the knights' thoughts, and slowly built a plan for the future in his heart.

It's still full of loopholes.

"Desmond is too big, and although you are a baron, Desmond is a county. It's impossible for us to protect Desmond well, even if Lord Bismal can fight twice as much, with what I know about Arian Hurd, there's a good chance she'll stay, and she'll have to train a hundred and eighty regular soldiers out when the time comes. Not to mention that guy's ability to fight, her subordinates are notoriously able to fight."

"Desmond is already a sparsely populated area, and the people like to live in dispersion. Even in normal times, it was very difficult for me to make my rounds. Now that there is a big war between the Empire and the Normans, I am worried that it may be much better if the lords can gather here at Desmond Castle and rely on it. You couldn't count on these things before, but now that everyone believes in Lord Sinloth, maybe you can try to order them to gather."

"What Lord Roland said makes a lot of sense, we really have too few people. But you can't just rely on those soldiers, the knights are the main force of war. Desmond is a county after all, so even if you recruit a few dozen more knights, you can do it. We can use these dozens of knights as skeletons, combined with a considerable number of elite soldiers. In this case, unless the main Norman force lands, at other times, we can have the strength to fight."

Xinluo listened silently to the knights' advice, all of which were very pertinent. As for how to choose, it is up to him to think about it. Fortunately, the tone of the armament war will not change, and what Xinlos has to consider is how to make himself as strong as possible under the current limited financial conditions.

Claes, you don't give it a try, you said that a good stone will be turned into gold.

"Daddy~"

Just as Sinloth was lamenting inwardly, a familiar shout came from behind. Before Sinloth could get up, a small body was already hanging around his neck.

"Ellie, what's wrong, you seem to be very happy today."

"Hey, Dad, I have my own knight too!" Ellie lifted her washboard and said proudly to her father. The girl smiled and bent her eyes, as if to say, "Hurry up and praise me, hurry up and praise me." ”

"Knight?"

"Uh-huh~ Ellie's knight."

"Ellie's knight? Who is Desmond and does there still be a Wild Knight? ”

"Dad's big stupid, it's the clown brother."

"What?!"

The three people who were drinking with their heads bowed on the side immediately stood up when they heard Ellie say this. Jeremia tried to draw his sword, but the alcohol-affected body was too much to do so. He tried several times, but never succeeded.

"Miss, how can you promise him!"

"Impudent! Kempareira knows what he's doing! ”

"Huh?" Seeing that his father did not touch his head and praise himself as usual, and the knights were also tense. Ellie couldn't understand what was going on.

"Ellie, sue me for how Kemparella deceived you."

Sinloth wasn't as angry as the knights, and instinctively told him that there might be something else hidden in it. Although Kempareira was deeply hit some time ago, he was even on the verge of madness for a while.

However, he probably won't

Suddenly, Bismal shouted outside the martial arts training arena, "Joker, aren't you going to explain?" ”

"It's Bismalco, I'm so far away, you can feel it."

The young man, who still smelled of blood on his body, walked out of the shadows and knelt down in front of Xinluos: "My lord, I was lost in my soul by the demon for a while, please don't blame the eldest lady." ”

Demons are not so boring, they prefer to destroy the souls of humans rather than lose them. But he honestly admits that there is a problem.

Sinloth stroked her daughter's blonde hair and whispered in her ear, "Ellie, tell Daddy, did you let the Joker be your knight?" ”

"That's right, because I saw that my father had a knight, and Ellie was so envious."

I see. Ellie was too young to understand the significance of her first knight. There was really no point in holding the clown accountable, he didn't dare to disobey the will of the Fanzhuo family.

At least that's what happened to Sinloth, the pseudo-aristocratic patriarch.

"In that case, I see. It's not your fault, Kemparella. But the importance of Ellie's first knight, I'm sure you understand, so"

The young man lowered his head, unable to see his expression, but said in a low voice, "But according to the orders of the adults." ”

"I've decided," Sinloth glanced at the Joker's stats bar, about to give his own order.

Wait, what's going on? Why did the Joker's stats change?

Name: Kemparela

Strength: 9, Intelligence: 9, Body: 9: 9, Agility: 9, Will: 11

Traits: Joker, Guardian Knight, Fool (??? ), Daohua Shi (??? ）

Joker: A person who pleases the gods and others with his own sorrows.

Guardian Knight: Protect the majesty of the king with his own body. Never betray, never flinch, never slacken.

"This guardian knight is so domineering, what is the greeting behind the fool and the Taoist master, why is there not even the most basic explanation? If you haven't awakened before, won't there be the word "unawakened"? ”

"The Guardian Knight is indeed overbearing. The reason for saying hello is that some key factors are missing, but it is only one step away from transforming into a trait. ”

"Then why don't I have a handsome character?"

"Blood Rose."

"Can you not mention this?"

The Joker's attributes weren't good, but when he saw the Guardian Knight's trait, Cynroth changed his mind. Weakness is a sin, but it is not unacceptable if there is sufficient loyalty.

"I've decided to give you a chance."

The clown jerked his head up, his bright red right eye full of disbelief. And Bismarck, who was quietly waiting for Sinlos on the side, also stepped forward and admonished: "My lord, accepting such a knight will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the eldest lady. He won't even be angry."

"If you don't get angry, then learn." Bismal had a point, but it wasn't enough to change Cynroth's will. "Kemparella, I've decided to give you a chance. I'll give you two years, and if you can comprehend your anger, then I'll promise you to be Ellie's knight, if not, then"

"I will kill myself to wash away the stigma of the eldest lady."

"That's fine."

Those who commit suicide cannot go to heaven. The clown made such a vow, and Bismal also felt that if he insisted, it would be a little unkind. The knights looked at each other a few times, and when they saw the sigh in each other's eyes, they were silent and stopped talking.

At the clown's age, even in the face of the stimulation of Tu Village, he couldn't make him burst out the slightest bit of anger. Then in his life, it is basically impossible to comprehend this magical power.

"But until then, you can't call yourself Ellie's knight, do you know what I mean?"

"Thank you, sir."

"Good." Xinlos nodded, and said to Ellie, who was pouting: "I can't just let anyone be Ellie's knight, Ellie's knight must be the best, Ellie, do you say?" ”

Ellie grimaced at her father, the atmosphere just now was really almost scared to death of the little girl: "Dad is a big villain, Brother Clown will definitely be able to understand anger!" ”

The young man touched his hair and showed a slight smile: "Don't worry, eldest lady, just look at my power." ”

Give him a chance, and Ellie won't be too disappointed. In two years, Ellie's heart should have grown a lot. When the time comes, even if you dispose of him again, you must not be

Sinloth thought aimlessly, and shifted his gaze to the knights. Speaking of which, Ellie's informal canonization can also make the clown have two more qualities. His canonization is so official, won't it also make the knights change a little, right?

"54213, sue me, you sent the wrong attribute bar. What the hell is going on with this stat bar that is completely different from before?"
