201 Prepare for the feast
The appearance of Baron Akford in the tower not only increased the tension level of the Earth team, but also roughly exceeded the expectations of the six accompanying knights in the medieval world.
After seeing the figure standing at the top of the castle and his body stiffened slightly, Garucha, who was walking at the front of the line, and another knight invariably pulled the reins and controlled the war horse to give way to the side a few steps, so that the dust and gravel, which were not very obvious, were even farther away from the trajectory that Wu Qingchen was about to pass behind him.
Soon, Wu Qingchen walked to a position about two hundred steps away from the castle.
This is also the place where the guards questioned the last time they came over.
This time, the drawbridge was put down directly.
Earth, country Z, a village, villager activity center.
"See?"
Pointing to the small movements of the rider in front of him in the video, as well as the suspension bridge that was lowered in advance, Li Glasses smiled and said to the workers next to him: "This is the benefit of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat." ”
"Hmm......" the workers thought.
"Think about it......" Li Glasses continued; If it weren't for the extra-standard pomp and circumstance carefully arranged by the staff committee, if Mr. Wu Qingchen only brought a messenger over, what would he be like now? ”
The workers thought about it slightly, and soon two figures appeared in their minds: one was dusty, gray-headed, and sweaty; One was panting, staggering, almost crushed to death by a huge burden.
"It's a preemptive one." Ye Yi muttered.
"Not bad." Li Glasses nodded: "The shelf has been propped up, and next, it will be up to Mr. Wu Qingchen to perform." ”
————————
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Hilbert's mouth.
He couldn't be unhappy, the relatives of the captain of the guard, the second son of the dog officer, and the guys introduced by Lady Lisa were all sent to clean the castle, and as long as he worked harder, the work of listening to the errand would be firmly in hand.
Listen to my cousin and mother, and just stand by the door, convey the baron's orders, inform the courtiers of their requests, and carry things occasionally, and do nothing at other times, or most of the time, it is undoubtedly the most relaxing and comfortable thing in the whole castle.
The experience of listening to the errand two days ago has indeed proved this point.
Today it looks like it's going to be a little easier.
The frizzy Garroucha came over and asked to see him twice, and the baron simply left the study. In this way, Hilbert's job was to remove the "convey orders", and only needed to complete the work of reminding and leaving messages when other ministers came to look for the baron.
The sun is not far from going down.
The day's work is coming to an end......
Soon you will be able to lie down and rest......
Thinking of sleeping, Hilbert yawned leisurely and stretched out.
"Haha......" At this moment, the laughter of His Excellency the Baron came from the direction of the castle spiral staircase: "John is still the same...... When he was a child, his favorite game was to ride a pony and cut straw. ”
"I see," His Excellency ...... Baron's voice fell, and a rather young voice picked up: "No wonder the teacher is so skillful. ”
"When I was a child, I wasn't very skilled at all, and I had to leave a scar and ......shed tears in two or three days," the conversation began, and His Excellency the Baron walked the last spiral staircase and stepped into the corridor.
As His Excellency turned around, two other figures also came into Hilbert's field of vision, the familiar attendant on the left and a ...... on the right Wacky guys.
The strange meaning is that this guy has a slightly inferior body, but his body is clean; The face is a little immature, but there is a maturity on the face that a young man can never have; Walking beside the baron and the attendant, he was obviously a lot shorter, but when he looked closely, he didn't feel short at all......
"See what?"
When Hilbert was a little distracted, the attendant came to his side: "Don't you know etiquette?" Don't bow to the priest? ”
"Ah......" Hilbert noticed that this strange fellow, dressed in the garb of a priest, hurriedly took off his hat and bowed, "I'm sorry, sir, please forgive me for being sloppy." ”
"It's nothing, it's too hot, it's not your fault." The young priest also walked to the side, and when he heard Hilbert speak, the young priest immediately stopped, he turned to Hilbert first, and then began to speak, and the gentle smile on his face seemed to dissolve all the mustard.
"Come here......"
After two words of conversation, His Excellency the Baron had already taken more than ten steps, and he turned his head and beckoned: "Let me take a good look, my nephew, and what good news has been brought to me." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
As he spoke, the young priest nodded to Hilbertus again, and gave another smile full of goodwill before turning and walking in the direction of the Baron.
"Lord Norton...... Which parish pastor is this? ”
Hilbert smiled blankly at the young priest's back, and turned his head to look at the squire who remained beside him. - Everyone in the castle knows that when talking to people, the Baron does not like to get too close to irrelevant people.
"Not a parish." The squire shook his head and replied softly, "This is the Priest of Looth/Mor from the village of Akrya. ”
"Eclery's Village?" Hilbert was a little surprised: "Lord! This is the cow...... Protestant? Hilbert's eyes showed a deep envy: "No wonder Your Excellency the Baron is so kind, when I heard that this lucky man was promoted by the church, the Lord Baron was very happy for two or three days. ”
"How can you not be happy?"
The attendant smiled: "When the situation of the priest of Los was not very good, it was the baron lord who personally ordered him to be appointed as a cowherd...... The freedmen jumped directly to the cowherd, remember how many people whined at that time, right? ”
"Of course." Hilbert nodded repeatedly.
How can you forget?
Having just finished the "Battle for the Messenger", Hilbert has a deep understanding of this, how many open guns and arrows he encountered when he competed for the Messenger, and how many waves of undercurrents he must have experienced when Looth/Moore became a cowherd.
It's just that Hillbert looked at the young priest's back sourly: these twists and turns, before they touched the corners of Loth/Moore's clothes, were all blocked by His Excellency the Baron.
"Hey......" As if guessing Hilbert's thoughts, the attendant looked over with a smile: "Jealous?" ”
Hilbert's face flushed slightly.
"Jealousy is nothing." The attendant officer sighed a little: "Who doesn't envy such good luck? …… O cowherd of the great village! Who doesn't have a few inferior relatives to arrange? However, it was lucky in the past, but now it is different, when those people shouted that His Excellency the Baron had wasted the opportunity to win people's hearts, how loud they were, and now they have to admire His Excellency's vision. ”
"Huh?" Hilbert was a little confused.
"Never met, without anyone to help talk, jumped straight from the freedmen to the cowherd...... What is trust? What is kindness? What do you call your own people? That's it. ”
"But......" Hill Bolt frowned slightly, "Lord Los doesn't know about this complicated matter, right?" ”
"Just because you don't know now doesn't mean you won't know in the future. Just because Lord Loz doesn't know doesn't mean that Lord Praia doesn't know...... Even if everyone around Lord Lois shut up, wouldn't there still be us? In fact, maybe the later you know, the better the outcome. ”
"Hmm...... Yes. After a moment's thought, Hilbert looked at the squire with admiration.
"The other day, the Baron has received the news...... "The chamberlain continued, "After the priest Praia received the divine gift, whenever the time to go to the council, the village of Akri will be presided over by Los/Morde, and in this way, the parish of Fishgard has already planned to leave the village of Akris to the priests of Los. ”
"Tsk......" Hilbert smacked his mouth.
The attendant officer was also full of emotion: "The position of a cowherd in exchange for the friendship of a large village priest is exchanged...... It's so cost-effective. ”
"No wonder ......"
"Huh!" Before Hilbert could finish saying "no wonder" anything, the attendant suddenly pointed ahead: "Isn't Your Excellency the Baron going upstairs to the reception room?" ”
"Now at this time......" Looking at the sky, Hilbert hesitated and said, "The sun is already shining, could it be that the reception room is too hot?" ”
Next, the two saw Baron Akford leading the Priest of Los and stopped at the end of the corridor.
There, a cool breeze blows from the shaded window, and a long table sits by the window, behind which is the favorite chair of His Excellency the Baron.
"Sure enough, yes. ......Hurry up," the attendant officer hurriedly patted Hilbert on the shoulder: "Go and move a seat for Lord Loth." ”
"Okay."
Hilbert nodded, and was about to step forward when the voice of the baron lord came: "Hilbert, you go to the kitchen and let them prepare the dinner." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Hilbert answered loudly.
He had just been a messenger for two days, and the etiquette of the banquet was beyond the scope of Hilbert's knowledge, and now this occasion was obviously not suitable for questioning His Excellency the Baron, but fortunately, the chamberlain who was good at these tasks was by his side, and Hilbert hurriedly asked: "What kind of food will you prepare for dinner?" ”
"Hmm...... The last time Master Praia came, it was two chickens...... Lord Los is a vicar, one level below Lord Praia, but His Excellency the Baron is particularly close...... Well, tell the kitchen to slaughter two chickens as ......."
"Okay." Hilbert nodded and left quickly.
"When you come back, remember to move your seat." There was another reminder from the attendant officer behind him.
In about five minutes, the kitchen was notified, and a round stool was moved, and Hilbert walked back.
"Well, you're pretty fast."
Seeing Hilbert, where the spiral was at the corner, the attendant took the round stool and smiled a little appreciatively.
At this moment, a series of loud laughter came from behind the two of them.
"Did the blind cow and the broken leg survive? Are you able to work in the fields now? ”
"Good, good! That's great! Los, the village of Aycrane thanks to you! Akford will be blessed with your good luck in the future! ”
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and at the end of the corridor, His Excellency the Baron held a parchment roll in his left hand and patted the young priest on the shoulder with his right hand, and the smile on his face was extremely cheerful.
The smile on the squire's face dissipated like a tidal wave.
"Hurry ......up" shoved the round stool back into Hilbert's hand, and the attendant hurriedly urged: "What is the identity of the Priest of Rose?" How can you sit on a round stool? Quick, go change to a chair! ”
"Hilbert?"
Although he didn't see the round stool, the baron faintly heard the voice of the two talking: "It's just right to come back, you go down again, find someone, go outside and find Balles, and tell him that the Ellis family's ploughing cattle don't die first, maybe they can be saved." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Hilbert quickly hid the round stool behind his back, turned around, and was about to run downstairs.
"Wait!" The attendant commanded in a low voice: "Tell the kitchen to slaughter one more lamb." ”
Five minutes later, the kitchen was informed, the herald was told to look for the farmer, and with a chair in his hand, Hilbert panted and climbed the spiral staircase.
The attendant waited directly at the end of the spiral staircase.
Before the two could cross their chairs, the sound of His Excellency the Baron laughing was heard again in the direction of the end of the corridor.
"Bees can build new nests! That's right! I didn't think that bees could build new nests! ”
"Hilbert! Hilbert ...... Is Hilbert back? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency......" Shoving the chair into the hand of the attendant, Hilbert rushed out breathlessly, "Here I am." ”
"Quick, go down again, find someone to call the forest officer back, he should be in the forest, let him stop busy tossing the honeycomb first, come back quickly, there is something important!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Hilbert replied loudly, turned and walked down two steps, looking back helplessly at the squire.
"Hmm......" the attendant rubbed his temples vigorously, "let the kitchen slaughter the fawn caught a few days ago." In addition......" Looking at the chair in his hand, the attendant said, "This can be sat for Lord Los first...... However, when you come up, remember to bring another wolf skin mat. ”
Seven or eight minutes later, the kitchen was informed to slaughter the deer, the herald was informed to look for the forester, and with the wolfskin mat in hand, Hilbert dragged his heavy steps and walked with difficulty to the spiral staircase.
Before he could begin to climb the spiral staircase, the laughter of His Excellency the Baron was heard again.
O Lord!
Hillbert looked overhead, and there were at least five or six of his own heights, forty or fifty paces between here and the Baron.
The Baron's laughter could be heard from so far away......
And it's such laughter......
Hilbert swore that he had never heard such a hearty laugh from His Excellency the Baron.
Looking at the wolfskin cushion in his hand, Hilbert fell into thought:
What to do? Do you want to move another bed?
