Chapter 197: New Year and the Second Moment Aphasia
White Bear Town.
Time flies, and it's the New Year in a blink of an eye.
For Willy, what happened in this year was more exciting than all the things that happened in his previous life combined.
With the continuous promotion of extraordinary strength, the status has made a leap from commoners to nobles, the family situation has been greatly improved, and a group of loyal and determined subordinates have been gathered.
It has been a fruitful year for Willy.
According to the practice in the aristocratic group in the past, today's Willy will also open his own meeting and hold a noble dinner belonging to Baron Willy of White Bear Town.
At noon, Baron Willy's meeting officially began.
Thorpes, Dahn, Sandor and a number of other important officials were already on the scene.
They needed to take the place of Baron Willy and receive some guests.
Last year in Diamondtown, Willy played such a role.
The meeting had barely begun, and there were already men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes one after another, and they entered Baron Willy's manor in an orderly manner with joy.
Most of them were family members of some minor officials in White Bear Town, or some of the big businessmen in the neighborhood and their families. On the occasion of the New Year, they will show their sincerity and loyalty to Baron Willy. By the way, I met some friends of the same status.
The more people with status and status, the more they pay attention to networking.
"Happy New Year, Lord Baron!"
Today, Willy is wearing a black dress, with a straight body and firm eyes, which makes people can't help but feel respect and admiration.
It was clear to everyone that this young baron, in the past year, had done a lot of thrilling and big things.
Destroy the Green Shell Pirate Regiment, revive the agricultural economy in White Bear Town, and destroy the cavalry of the Principality of Wata......
Every deed can make people feel his strong wrist just by bringing it out.
"Happy New Year. ”
At this time, Willy held a red wine glass and walked among the visitors.
There are no truly distinguished guests yet worthy of being received by Baron Willy.
These ordinary guests, even when they saw the baron himself, only greeted him gently.
They all knew very well that rushing up to talk to Willy would cause him to resent it.
"Happy New Year, Lord Baron!"
Willy had his back to the door, but after hearing an old and familiar voice, he subconsciously turned his head.
I saw an old man dressed in neat and coarse linen clothes, walking towards Willy in good spirits, with excitement and kindness in his eyes.
It is the tun chief of Fandoutun, Old York.
At this time, Old York is very different from before, although he is a year older, he looks younger, and the spirit of the whole person has changed drastically from before.
By his side, followed by young Arden.
At this time, Arden was completely different from when he first met Willy.
Arden looked very mature, and it seemed that he had deliberately grown some mustache in order to make himself look like an adult again.
"Old Joel!"
Willy laughed out loud and walked over to Old York under the surprised gazes of the other visitors.
Many visitors don't know who Old York is, and they are curious. Why was this old man, who was dressed plainly and almost no different from a commoner, able to be personally entertained by the Baron.
Some people who have a heart have already decided to wait a while to establish a friendship relationship with this old man.
"Happy New Year, Old York. ”
Willy patted Old Joel on the shoulder.
Strictly speaking, Joel Sr. was Willy's first confidant.
When he was in Fandoutun, Willy, the tun chief, did almost nothing, and he was busy with old Joel.
For Fandoutun, Old Yol has paid much more effort than Willy.
Old Joel was a little excited, and his body was trembling slightly.
He took a slight step back and bowed deeply to Willy.
Old Joel's gratitude to Willy is sincere from the bottom of his heart.
It was Willy who changed the fate of Old York's family, and now not only Old York himself has become the head of Fandoutun, but even his grandson Arden has also been reused by Baron Willy, and the originally poor family has become the envy of many people at this time.
"How's it going, what's next year's expected harvest for Starspot Snow Root?"
Willy seems to have talked to Old Joel about family life.
"The harvest was beyond expectations!"
Speaking of this, Old Jol's face showed a happy smile, and his face was full of wrinkles: "According to your instructions, we have made the most reasonable planting of the star-spotted snow root. According to my estimates, this year's harvest is about twice as much as last year's!"
"Good. ”
Willy exhorted.
Although Starspot Snow Root's income is nothing at all in the entire White Bear Town.
But as his own birthplace, Willy is still very concerned about this.
"At the beginning of spring next year, I will send you the best growing spotted snow roots. ”
Old Yoel said to Willy.
"That's hard work for you. ”
Willy exchanged a few more pleasantries with Old York, and Old York made a request to see Lake.
When they were in Fandoutun, the two were close partners.
When the beans were harvested last year, Lake also took Mrs. Sawin back to the beans and personally supervised the work.
After hearing Old Joel's request, Willy naturally agreed.
He summoned one of his own soldiers and asked him to bring Old Joel to Lake.
At this time, Lake and Mrs. Swain were in the attic at the back of the manor, and the husband and wife were not very interested in this kind of crowded meeting.
Not long after sending off Old York, Willy welcomed another acquaintance.
"Happy New Year, Lord Baron. ”
Lilian, dressed in a white dress, performed a standard aristocratic etiquette on Willy.
"Happy New Year, Lilian. ”
Willy really didn't know what to do with Lilian, who wanted to be a baroness and was deeply loved by Mrs. Shawyn.
Fortunately, however, I did not have much contact with her, except for the occasional encounter between her when she visited Mrs. Swaen.
Looking at Willy's attitude towards being not very close to herself, Lilian was also a little helpless.
She still wanted to continue to pestering Willy to say a few words, but seeing Willy's performance, she didn't know how to express it.
"Lilien. ”
Sandor saw this from a distance, knowing full well that the Baron was being pestered by his sister.
Today was the day of your guests, and Sandor didn't want Liliam to lose face for herself and her family.
"I'm sorry, Lord Baron, but I've got some friends over there, and I'm going to take Lilian to get to know her. ”
Todor tugged at Lilian's arm and walked off into the distance.
It was hard to see Willy, and Lilian was really reluctant to leave.
But looking at the eldest brother with an unusually serious expression, Lilian still chose to give in.
Willy breathed a sigh of relief.
For Sandor's firefighting behavior, Willy expressed his appreciation.
Instead of continuing to walk around the hall, Willy returned to the lounge at the back of the hall.
If a noble guest arrives, they will be brought by their own soldiers.
Willy poured himself a glass of red wine and sat in the soft chair, looking a little comfortable.
"Lord Baron. ”
Suddenly, at the door of the rest room, Willy heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
I saw Coulson walk in with his head up, his face full of joy, and wearing a fat gown.
"Coulson?"
It's been a long time since Willy has seen Coulson, and according to Wally, Coulson is in full retreat preparing for promotion to the Second Moment Aphasia.
Willy stared at Coulson, a hint of surprise on his face: "You were promoted to the second moment aphasia?"
At this time, Willy had already sensed the changes in Coulson's body, and the rich and abundant natural energy was a whole step higher than before.
"Yes, Lord Baron!"
Seeing Willy's surprised eyes, Coulson was inspired.
He felt that he had worked hard these days and that he had finally paid off.
For Coulson, getting Baron Willy's approval is much more important than the promotion itself.
"You may not believe it when you say it, but I really suffered a lot in order to be promoted to the second moment aphasia. One of the biggest problems is that I have less time to sleep. You know, in the past, I had to sleep eight hours a day, which would make me energetic and full of energy throughout the day. But now, I only get half the amount of sleep a day...... It was a painful experience......"
"But the good thing is that I finally succeeded, and I can sleep again in the future...... Of course, I must thank Lord Volibel for his urging for this promotion......"
Willy didn't stop him, and Coulson kept talking.
Looking at Coulson, who was full of confidence, Willy smiled lightly.
At this time, his mood should be very similar to that of Baron Kells last year after hearing that he was promoted to knight.
Suddenly, he already had the same identity as Baron Kells.
Thinking of this, Willy was a little embarrassed.
Looking at the Coulson, who was rejected and disgusted at the beginning, growing into what he is now, Willy is very pleased.
"Uh......"
Coulson, who was babbling, suddenly closed his mouth because he found that Baron Willy was so blocked by himself that he could not say a word.
"Hmm...... By the way, I also brought my Talker!"
Coulson tried to change the subject.
He quickly walked out of the room and quickly pulled in a man in a black robe.
In the atmosphere of the New Year, it is a very incongruous thing to be wrapped in a black robe.
"Senya ......"
Although he didn't see the face of the man in the black robe, Willy still sensed Sonia's aura that belonged to the bloodborne.
"Take off your hat. ”
Coulson ordered Sen on the side.
At this time, Sen Ya, after receiving Coulson's instructions, took off her hat with a stiff movement.
"This ......"
After seeing Sen Ya's appearance, Willy's pupils shrank.
At this time, Sen Ya is completely different from when she first saw her.
Semia's complexion was paler than before, without a hint of blood.
Even her lips turned grayish-purple.
Her gaze looked a little glazed, but her eyes seemed to move slowly, as if there was a hint of sanity and sobriety.
She ...... Can you still be considered human?"
Willy looked at Coulson with a strange expression.
A big boy who seems to be lively and straightforward by nature has completely turned a young girl into a living dead. The two stand together, giving people an inexplicably distorted and weird picture.
Coulson didn't seem to notice Willy's gaze, and he scratched the back of his head: "It should be a human ......"
"I just transplanted a part of my heart of nature and blood into her heart. ”
Coulson pursed his lips: "She should be my servant, but she also has her own consciousness. ”
"Senya...... Do you know who I am?"
Hearing this, Willy stood up and circled around the extremely incongruous speaker.
The vigorous vitality in her body is very incompatible with her miserable appearance.
"You are Baron Willy, Baron Willy, who killed Lord Abil and captured me alive. ”
Sonia's voice was a little sluggish, like a rigid puppet.
"It's a strange ......"
There was a look of surprise in Willy's eyes.
Semia's memory was not missing, but when she said that sentence just now, she didn't have any resentment.
As a hanged man in the second moment, Willy can clearly perceive malice.
Talker......
Willy reacquainted himself with the transcendent profession of the aphasia.
It is not a messenger of nature's good intentions, or rather, nature itself has no good or evil.
"Coulson, you're doing a great job. ”
Willy patted Coulson on the shoulder.
Coulson seemed a little embarrassed, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.
It doesn't seem like the culprit who turned Senya, a big living person, into a walking puppet.
"But try not to appear in front of too many people with your speaker in the future, her behavior may cause some unnecessary panic......"
Willy nodded.
"Got it, Lord Baron!"
Coulson replied solemnly.
In the following time, Willy deliberately asked Coulson to accompany him and met with some noble guests.
For example, Ole in Diamond Town, Mela in Stormwind Town, and Lacas Father and Son......
Willy had a cordial conversation with many of his old friends.
Towards the end of the evening, the meeting came to an end, and the aristocratic dinner belonging to the New Year was about to begin.
Willy simply rested for a while, and was about to go to the dinner scene, when he suddenly heard new news.
Boudal, who sailed in the open sea, is back.
