Chapter 60: The Christmas Present That Came Early
ββ
ββ
Not as enthusiastic as expected, Desmond's vassals looked at Sinloth with strange eyes. After a while, Ditohardt finally took the lead in applauding, and then the knights suddenly realized and hurriedly cheered.
Shame on you.
After a moment's thought, Sinloth understood why these guys reacted this way.
Ditohart was a slave trader who had lost his conscience, and the only thing that could make him truly believe was Imperial gold and his own desires. As for Hermint, this guy is a magician at all, and he is a mortal enemy of the church
As for the knights, Desmond has not had a church for many years, and there is not even a single nun of the most basic, and no one believes it if the knights do not have a single complaint in their hearts. It is said that the Lord loves the world, but where is the church when we are suffering?
What's more, the relationship between the empire and the church is not as good as that of the ancient empire. Over the years, the Empire has done nothing less than to discredit the Church. This kind of behavior is inferior, but it is very effective. At least Bismalco and others have a low opinion of the church.
Especially since the last duel in front of the gods.
Naturally, this group of people, who lack the goodwill of the church, cannot be expected to attach importance to the traditional festivals of the church.
Yes, ecclesiastical, not imperial.
From all kinds of clues before, Xinlos always felt that this world was similar to the West of his own world before. If it weren't for the fact that the language and writing were so different, he even wondered if he had returned to the ancient Western Middle Ages. But now, that mystery has been solved.
This group of guys, completely ignoring Christmas Eve, ahh
How could such a group of guys be the religious madmen of the Middle Ages!
I'm so ashamed, I don't have the face to see anyone
So, when Ellie and Lizzie came to the castle hall holding hands, they saw a black smear, as if abandoned by the world.
"Huh? Dad, what's wrong with you, you seem to be very unhappy. β
Seeing his daughter, Cinnos reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I thought of something very bad." By the way, Ellie, how is Claes? β
The blonde angel stood on tiptoe and stroked Cinnos's long silky hair: "Dad, don't be sad, don't be sad"
"Ellie!"
"Hahaha, dad is shy, Well, Brother Claes said that he wanted to lie down alone for a while, so let's go down first."
"Well, then don't wait for him."
Sinlos picked up her daughter and walked to the center of the hall.
"Since I came to Desmond, many things have happened, both happy and sad, and thanks to your efforts, Desmond has finally been in danger. As a lord, I have always been grateful, but I have nothing to repay you. Today, while everyone is here, I would like to give you some small gifts. β
I wanted to give them as a Christmas present, but they didn't seem to be looking forward to Christmas at all. Then take advantage of this few times and just give them directly.
"How can you do that, an adult?"
"It's my job to wait."
The knights rose up and refused, but the wayward Sinloth didn't care about it. Grabbing a small pocket, like Santa Claus, he began to present the knights.
These gifts were not taken from your dear Bishop when you left Kildal.
"It's rare to be happy today, everyone is more relaxed, more relaxed."
Sinloth walked up to Bismarck, the warrior whose face had not changed since Tarzan collapsed, but he was a little nervous at the moment. Sinloth smiled at him and motioned for him to relax, "Well, don't be so strict, Bismar Keqing. I looked, well, found it. β
Xinluo dug in his pocket for a while, and found a long sword made of stainless steel: "Bismal Keqing, looking at your long sword before, it seems to be a little worn, this is not worthy of your identity." It just so happens that I have one here, although it can't be said to be a magic weapon, but it can be used, if you don't dislike it, just accept it. β
Looking at the long sword held in Xinluos's left hand, Bismal looked inexplicable, and wanted to blurt out a thousand words, but in the end he choked up. He knelt down on one knee, solemnly stretched out his hands, and took the chilling sword from the lord's hand.
Seeing that what Sinloth had taken out was a long sword, the knights couldn't help but let out a commotion. And when Bismal held the sword in both hands, the knights let out a burst of cheers, and Roland, the guy, even laughed and raised his glass and poured himself a sip.
Receiving the matching sword granted by the lord himself, the identity of the knight chief of Bismal and Desmond can be said to be justified.
Although he was still silent, from his slightly trembling right hand, Sinloth could still sense Bismarck's excitement. He nodded with satisfaction, as long as he reacted this way, it would be worth it. Desmond's chief knight, who could be more suitable than this powerful and loyal knight?
Putting down the agitated Knight, Sinlos walked up to Jeremia.
"My Lord, I"
Ignoring the knight's words, Sinlos continued to dig into the bag: "Jeremia, you now have your own estate, you can't manage it well. Well, I don't know what you like, but I happen to have some orange seeds here, so you can plant them. In a few years, I can still go to your place to rub oranges and eat, hahahaha"
The bishop's collection is so rich that he even has seeds, and I don't know which believer donated it.
"Tachibana Anina"
Holding this small bag of seeds, Jeremia seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. There was sadness in his dark green eyes, looking at the lord's smile, and in front of his eyes, a pink-haired girl faintly appeared.
"What's wrong, don't you like it? Oh, I'll change it then."
"Thank you, sir, I love this gift"
Anina, wait for me, I'm officially a knight, it won't be too long, it won't be too long
Looking at Jeremia's expression, the corners of the lord's mouth secretly grinned, and he knew that he had made the right bet again. By the way, does this guy really like oranges so much, and be so happy when he sees the seeds of oranges?
With Jeremiah out of the way, Cynroth walked over to the two knights who were looking at him expectantly.
"Don't look at me like that, everybody has it."
Truth be told, there are more and more knights under Sinloth. And it is foreseeable that this number will continue to grow. Ruziano and Gino didn't think it before, but now looking at their attributes, they are really weak. Silently, the status of Arian Heard, as a latecomer, was already above the two old Desmonds.
Even compared to the three retinues of Arian Hurd, the attributes of the two of them did not have any advantages, especially Ruziano.
However, Sinloth believed in Bismalco.
Believe in Bismarck's vision.
Although Bismal was always humble in front of him, it was undeniable that he was actually a very proud knight. In such an important matter as accepting disciples, he must be very cautious. Jeremiah is forgotten, since the two of them can be accepted by Bismal, they must have their advantages.
The two of them are still too young.
O Knights of the Sun and Knights of the Damned, I look forward to your performance.
For these two young men, Jeremia's middle-aged face, it was too deceiving, Xinlos always subconsciously excluded him from the ranks of young people, Xinlos did not have the previous Yan sΓΉ, he touched the bag, and turned out a dozen gold coins.
Xinlos casually stuffed the gold coins into Gino's hand: "How do I know what you two bastards like and want, go buy them yourself and save some flowers, although the mining is yours, but you can't manage it well." If there's anything you don't understand, go ask Claes yourself. β
"Hmm!" The young people are not pretentious, nodding their heads fiercely.
After doing this, Xinluo walked up to Roland, who was still pouring himself wine, with a toothache on his face: "Hey, Roland, can you drink less?" β
"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm happier today, and I can't hold back if I'm not careful"
Xinluo looked at his drunkard attributes, and smiled helplessly: "I really can't help you, forget it." With that, Cynroth pulled a bottle of wine out of his bag.
"Burgundy wine, save some wine, I only have this bottle here, I don't have more."
"Oh oh oh, Burgundy's wine, it's good, hahahahaha."
Roland laughed and took the wine, glanced at Bismarck, and deliberately moved the bottle away from him.
This guy.
After sending the male knights, Sinlos came to Arian Hurd in front of the three little girls' bright eyes.
This strong and strong female knight seems to be very out of shape today. Forget about the previous daze, after all, everyone has a burnout period. But even if the lord was handing out gifts, she was still in that trance, which was very weird.
"What's the matter, Arian Hurd, what's on your mind?"
Arian Heard woke up like a dream, she glanced at the lord in a little panic, and then lowered her gaze: "No, my lord, it's nothing, it's just that I've spent a little bit of time cultivating anger recently, and I'm a little tired." β
Cinlos wisely didn't expose her lies, he took out the ivory comb that he had prepared and gently placed it in her calloused palm: "With such long hair, it must be a hassle to take care of." I don't have anything to give here, just a comb, so you can take it. β
The comb made of ivory is shiny and shiny, glowing faintly in the fireplace light. Arian Hurd looked at the comb in his hand, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "If you gave it to me, what would the lady think?" β
Hearing Arian Hurd ask this, Du Barry immediately couldn't hold it anymore, and she wanted to jump up from her seat in excitement. Unfortunately, her two companions betrayed her at this time, and the two knights, whose eyes radiated dazzling light, held down Dubarry's petite body to death, and Enaise reached out to cover her mouth, while Enaya's right hand squeezed fiercely on her chest. Suddenly, a burst of crimson flashed on Du Barry's face, and she instantly lost all her strength, and the whole person collapsed on the seat.
"Madame, what ma'am?"
Sinloth blinked and looked at Arian Hurd suspiciously, since he came to this world, he shouldn't have known any lady, right? Was it before that? That doesn't make sense.,Most of the previous memories were struggling to survive in the demon territory.,I didn't know any lady.γ
Arian Hurd's eyes were fixed on Sinloth, watching every change in his expression, but with her experience, she could never see the slightest trace of Sinloth's disguise.
so
Arian Hurd said no more, put the comb in his arms, turned to pick up his riding gun, opened Desmond's door, and disappeared into the snowstorm.
"Hey, Lord Arian Hurd, wait for us!"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
This is too far from what I expected.
As if unable to accept Arian Hurd's behavior, the three little girls were stunned for a moment, and then they all let out a huge cry of sorrow. They hastily picked up their weapons and followed Arian Heard and disappeared into the snow.
What's the deal with this woman? Did you offend him in any way?
"Alas" Xinluo sighed lightly, the emperor's mental skills are really complicated, and a rookie like him still needs to exercise more. Arien Heard's loyalty can be guaranteed, but what is the reason for her so?
"My lord, do you want us to chase?"
"No need, Bismal Keqing, Arian Heard and Anaise, the three of them, what can happen, let her go."
"Yes"
Sure enough, it's still too young.
Being disturbed by Arian Hurd like this, most of the lord's previous good mood was gone. He impatiently walked up to the star-eyed Hermint, and without looking at it, he pasted a stack of materials on his handsome face.
"Huh?!"
"That's where Desmond is right now, and here's what I'm planning for next year. You take it back and take a good look at it, and if it's okay, make a budget. Claes's current state is really not suitable for any more work. β
Helmint was, after all, an academic β although he never mentioned it. I guess it's okay to do this kind of paperwork.
"Yes, my lord, why are they all gifts, and mine is only work! I asked for a gift too! β
"Shut up."
Ignoring Hermint, who was jumping up and down, Sinloth slipped a small note into Ditohardt's hand.
"A reliable friend, you can try to contact it later."
Ditohart looked at the name on the note in his hand, and showed an inexplicable smile: "Your Excellency, you are really powerful, Lord Bishop" Seeing that Xinluos's face was not good, Ditohart quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, my lord, I said too much." β
"It's okay, make good use of it, don't waste my efforts."
When it was finally finished, Sinlos returned to his seat, comforted Ellie who had asked for a gift from her father, and raised her glass.
"Everyone, if you don't get drunk today!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
It's finally fooled
