The last harvest of sugar beets and sugar cane on the side island meant that the year's work was over, and the eunuchs and maids around Cremar began to prepare for the harvest festival.

And some of the things needed for the Moon Festival after the harvest festival also had to be prepared, after all, the side island had been deserted for too long, and the inner library was almost empty, and the silver and gold coins exchanged for beets and sugar cane sugar were exchanged for the weapons and armor of the soldiers without hesitation, although they also knew that this was the most important thing, but out of some acquired nature, these slaves, who valued the majesty and comfort of their masters more than anything else, always felt uneasy about the overstretched situation.

Interestingly, it was the first time he had actually participated in a human festival since he had arrived on this plane from the Atlas Sea - he and the lich had just landed in Sharp Jaw Harbor from the Sea of Chaos to coincide with the celebration of Goddess Flo, the goddess's sacrifice day, on the first day of April, when the Sweet Pea Flower was in its prime. In fact, fifteen days later, there was the Grass Festival, a day when people celebrated the departure of winter and the return of spring, except that the people who lived in Sharp Jaw Harbor were either pirates, or black merchants who sold pirates, or thieves, among whom there were hardly good people who lived on their own hands and land, and who certainly did not pay much attention to this festival; Pour out your love, so there are always a lot of marriages after Midsummer. But by that time, they had already arrived in the Grey Ridge, and the festivals and celebrations of humans had nothing to do with the elves of the Silvercrown Forest...... Midsummer is followed by the Harvest Festival, a festival that is now busy with the people around him, as the name suggests, where the hard-working people pray for the same good fortune the following year after celebrating this year's abundant harvest - although on the Dragonfire Islands, at any time. Those who work are always working, and those who enjoy are always enjoying themselves, but it is an indisputable fact that this festival is highly valued, and even Amos on the island of the Eastern Crown sent a eunuch to bring a jar of beet candy and a jar of cane sugar, and he has been trying to make friends with the side island recently, probably for reasons that everyone knows after becoming the lord of the Eastern Crown. He was jealous and alienated from Kremar on the side island, and now he was obviously a little too strong - it stands to reason that the last jar of sugar should be made into sugar by the side island.

"He wants our soldiers. Berdwin said.

"Didn't he recruit a lot of soldiers?" asked the otherworldly spirit.

"That's not a soldier," Knight Xiu scoffed, "just a mercenary." ”

"To him?" asked Gülen nonchalantly.

"We can't afford to lose Amos yet," Leona said, grabbing a leg of lamb and putting it in her mouth, she was now more and more like a mercenary or a warrior. However, the education of the lady only accounted for less than a fifth of her life: "If there are no lords in the Eastern Crown, then the remaining three lords will not let go of this opportunity." ”

"They're ready to move now," said Gülen, "but it's a pity that our Lord Amos is not bad, but the piece of mutton we left him is too big - he's still desperately trying to gather the power left by his father and brother, and it's not so easy to bring together so many armies and mages into one force before his children grow minions and fangs." ”

"Son, so he's no longer a eunuch?" asked Berdwin, pouring Leona a glass of coconut wine, "There aren't many priests on the Dragonfire Islands, do you know who that is?"

"Ugh. Adair embarrassedly put down his glass: "It's me." ”

"When?" to Berdwin's slight displeasure, Glenn knew about it. Cremar and the elf Kerry seemed to know, but he was the only one who had heard the news for the first time.

"When we were invited to the White Tower. Leona said, "I don't know, don't look at me like that, I'm just guessing." ”

"You guessed it. Gülen said, "But I know that this incident was not told to me by Adele, I have my source of information." ”

"The mage beside Amos has come to invite me," Adel said, "and at that time...... You know. You, Your Highness, are not there with His Excellency Kremmar and the others, and I can't be sure what will happen if I refuse, so ......"

"And it's hard to talk about. Leona relieved Birdwin and said, "Look, what can Adel say, Sir Birdwin, you know, I helped Amos, the lord of the Eastern Crown, restore his ...... Body?"

Baldwin reluctantly raised the corners of his lips, he found that it was difficult for him to smile from his heart now, he tried not to think about it, but he still couldn't erase the shadow in his heart - if the owner of this island was not Kremar but himself, then the person who was being concealed was probably the black-haired spellcaster, or maybe he was the lord of Thundercastle instead of a former paladin in exile......

He took Leona's hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, then nodded to the priest in Rosada: "I don't blame you, my friend, I just ...... A little surprised, besides, please don't use honorifics on me, we are companions, just like Cremar and Kerryburn, you can call me by my name, Xiu, you are too- I am no longer the lord of Thundercastle, no longer your lord, we should get along like friends. ”

Gülen's gaze shifted among the men, and at the end he grinned, as if he hadn't noticed that this little unhappiness was entirely caused by him: "All right, friend," he said in a harsh tone, "Let's toast to our friend (he was the first to raise the silver glass, and then the others responded to his actions, though Berdwin seemed a little disgusted by him), and then we continued to discuss...... ignoring the somewhat stiff atmosphere, "There are those things about the army." ”

"How many of us do we have now?"

"Three thousand five hundred. Xiu said.

"I remember there were only about 3,000 of them," Mr. Kerriben said, "and you told us that some of them were going to take a while to get used to." ”

"There are more people from the Highlands Norman...... Gone," Cremar chose a milder word, but Leona, Birdwin, and Xiu still inevitably had a sad and remorseful look: "There are still some people who ......"

"Some people started a rebellion. Leona said: "The new king put them and their relatives to death, and set up a stake, which stood from the territory of the rebellion to the royal capital, and everyone who participated in the rebellion, or was suspected of involvement, was stripped of his clothes and executed by a stake. The freemen, tenant farmers, and merchants of their lands were confiscated of all their property, shackled, and sentenced to serfs - or sold to slave traders for what they were supposed to have provided for the rebellion, and their parents were Norman merchants in the Highlands, one of whom was a councillor in the city. ”

"He's crazy. "Adel said that he was not educated on how to be a ruler, but was in the sanctuary of Rosada. It was the books that allowed him to learn about these people in high positions.

"Maybe it's because of me. Leona said, "His weak body prevented him from giving birth to his own child......

"Wait," Glenn couldn't help but interrupt her, "And who did I murder?" He hadn't forgotten his biggest crime.

"The kid. Leona stretched out her arms and crossed her fingers helplessly: "It was a request from my grandfather, the superior king of the Highlands Normans, because there was a suspicion that he had an incompetent eunuch son - he threatened my uncle that if he could not let a woman give birth to a child, my uncle would be expelled from the Highlands Normans." ”

"What a hell of a life. Gülen said.

"We Highland Normans care a lot about this. "Especially since he has become the king of the Normans in the Highlands. ”

"Those who have relatives in their hearts. Of course, you can always hear the whispers whispering in your ears. The Elven Ranger shook his head, which should be good news for them. But when he thought about what that meant behind that, Kerry couldn't be happier.

"As for the army ......" The otherworldly soul looked at Leona and Baldwin, yes, in most people's understanding, these soldiers and knights should belong to the side island, because the owner of the land they live in is not Leona or Baldwin. It's Cremar, but neither the souls of the other world nor the former immortals will covet this power that is very valuable in the eyes of others, because the soul of the other world has a moral code that it must abide by, and the lich is not interested in a group of stupid soldiers at all. So how to decide this matter still depends on the two of them.

Leona touched Birdwin lightly, then moved the glass to her lips, handing over the initiative to her lover, who smiled at her, "Five hundred." ”

"Isn't it a little little?" said Gülen.

"If he complains," said Berdwin, "tell him that when we have nearly a hundred thousand orcs before us, there are only twenty thousand." ”

Then they briefly discussed the issue of the dwarf McGee, and to be honest, a dwarf has always been the one who has always been an aider in the bard's poetry, hiding in the deep crypt like a goblin, staring with his little red eyes at every hero who dares to challenge the vicious ruler, the small, poisoned crossbow bolt or the large, iron-smelling golem are their most common weapons, but they do not cause any fatal damage to the protagonist, more like a harlequin or a joke-- This is of course a misstatement, for as far as they have seen, the gnomes are a race of selfishness to the extreme, and they cannot be used as an obstacle to run away without a trace of the enemy—the most daring of them are only a few spits around the prey in the trap, as they do on the island of the Eastern Crown.

Now McGee insisted on going with them, but he behaved like a demon summoned by the caster to the altar to gouge out his heart, and everyone had the privilege of watching his preparations - all of them laughed, and on several occasions, they tried to persuade him to stay, and McGee didn't bother to say anything, but just shifted his gaze to Baldwin's Mithril arm, and they couldn't help but have nothing to say, unless they could let Baldwin stay, but could they really let Baldwin stay? Even Gülen couldn't say such a thing. Even thieves have to work hard to steal or rob other people's property, and even if Berdwin didn't need the asset, he couldn't have watched his friends put in great danger while he stood by and watched.

Kerry had asked Cremar about it, after all, the Mithril arm was using his magic, but Kremar couldn't guarantee that the Quicksilver Golem was originally a product of magic before the Great Catastrophe, and only the real mentor of the Lich knew a thing or two about it, and it could be said that they were favored by the god of luck if they were able to form it at one time.

"Looks like we're going to have to take him with us. Leona said with a sigh.

"It would be nice if the gnomes were assigned to the Magical Creatures column. Gülen said in his usual rude manner, "We can put him in the pocket of the demon pet and carry it with us, which is very convenient." ”

Birdwin gave the thief a warning look, "You need to be more respectful," he said, "and if we agree to let McGee join, he's our companion." ”

The thief pouted indifferently, and he glanced at Cremar, "Is today's matter considered to be over?" and he said, "I want to leave." ”

"We still have time before the Moon Festival. The black-haired spellcaster said kindly, "We can talk about it again." ”

"The magic galaxy is about to rise. Kerry said, "It's time for you to rest, Cremar." ”

Since the elves have said so, then the others will not disagree, but today Adel stayed at the end,

"There is another reason why I agreed to the request of Amos, the Lord of the Eastern Crown. Adair said.

"Please. The soul of the other world said calmly.

"He promised me to allow the followers of Rosada to build a sanctuary and a shrine on the island of the Eastern Crown. ”

The lich shuddered slightly in the depths of the sea of consciousness and let out a cold laugh.

――I thought the gods really had no interest in the Dragonfire Islands. Said the once undead.

――？

- You probably remember what I told you before. The lich said that the former Dragonfire Islands were the same as the current mainland, there were many temples and sanctuaries of gods, as well as priests and paladins, but perhaps because of a hundred years of chaos and replacement in the Holocaust Era, the gods' control over humans was no longer so tight, the priests' prayers could not be answered, they could not perform divine magic, and they could no longer maintain their strength and beauty for a long time, and the poor worms of the gods were like a group of ordinary ordinary people, The temple and sanctuary have either collapsed or become the lair of wild beasts—no one knows when the rulers of the Dragonfire Islands have lost their due respect for the gods—a dangerous trend that has continued to the present day, and I have wondered if the gods who value their faith have really decided to abandon the place - and it is clear that I was wrong.

They're coming back. (To be continued.) )
