Chapter 284: Happy Birthday to You in the Tavern
After waking up from a leisurely night's sleep, Feng Longde was depressed to find that he had slept until about 10 a.m., and if it weren't for the mobile phone on the bedside table showing that it was still December 25, 2015, he would have wondered if he had slept for more than 24 hours.
Today's significance can be described as quite significant: for Gensokyo, or to a larger extent, Gensokyo, today is just Christmas, an important Western-style festival, but for the original Teutonic survivors in the Teutonic camp and the quasi-Teutonic people who are gradually changing, today is the most important triumphal festival of the Teutonic Empire, and in Feng Longde's own opinion, today is just his birthday.
"I didn't expect that from today onwards, I will be considered an adult" Under the service of the male and female servants, Feng Longde quickly finished a simple breakfast, went back to the house and dressed, said a simple goodbye to the male and female servants, and walked out of the headquarters fort, took out his immortal war horse in the king's stable, and rode in the direction of the world.
For now, the Teutonic camp is basically a complete holiday - except for the guards knights and Boghall soldiers who need to be on duty on their turns, the rest are basically all running to the human world to play, that is, Caroline and the large number of lich mages she leads are still tinkering with big projects in the magic laboratory in the basement of the headquarters fort, and the lich mages and hired farmers in the magic logistics farm on the other side of the enchanted forest are also not resting, and even the life and work are completely rooted there.
But all those hired or hired from the human world will enjoy the corresponding holidays, even the male and female servants in the headquarters fort are no exception: from yesterday evening to now, the male and female servants left behind in the headquarters fort are only about one-third of the usual, and they are also working and taking vacations according to the corresponding shift system, except that the male and female servants who are left behind are more tired than before to be responsible for the sanitation and daily maintenance of the entire headquarters fort. There is no bad effect, Caroline needless to say, Zhu Henghong's guy has already gotten up early in the morning and run to the world to wander, with a deep soul connection, Feng Longde knows very well that this product is planning to go to V's house to rub the net and the computer
This time, Feng Longde learned the lesson of running in the world last night and hiking in the world, which led to a very slow speed of travel, and directly drove his own immortal war horse to the world and quickly came to the world, moving slowly on the street. Enjoy the street scenery and pedestrians along the way.
If the lights are bright at night when the people who celebrate Christmas Eve are brightly lit, then the ones that are celebrating Christmas can be described as colorful and lively: in addition to the snow scene that Gensokyo usually sees during this season, the trail is full of local children running by laughing and running, followed by their anxious but happy parents, while the human inhabitants who have been busy for the past year are now playing around as a family unit, after all, the area of the world is the size of a medium-sized city in the outside worldFor the vast majority of the time, human inhabitants rarely have free time to wander around the rest of the area, except near their homes and workplaces, and during the festivals during this winter leisure period. They have time to wander around, as long as they don't die and run too far away from the world.
Unlike last night, today Feng Longde is wearing the extremely black Teutonic Gothic plate armor from the past, with a robe with a black cross on a white background and a hooded cloak with a black cross on a white background, a knight's sword and a one-handed battle axe on the armed belt around his waist, a steel iris shield and an axe-shaped halberd are hung on both sides of the undead war horse, and the backpack carried by the undead war horse is also bulging, I don't know how many messy things are contained.
Peephole through the Demon Ringwing Barrel Helmet. Feng Longde silently watched the surrounding scenery, and used the deep soul connection to direct the undead war horse under his crotch to walk in the direction of the tavern.
Until now. Feng Longde's preferred daily dress is still dominated by styles that can cover his face, such as Teutonic Gothic plate armor that is fully armed to the teeth, a hooded sweatshirt with a leather jacket and military pants similar to the overall dress of a parkour youth, or a Teutonic military uniform with a single look, all of which can rely on helmets, hoods or large-brimmed hats to cover their faces in whole or in part. It's not that Feng Longde thinks he's too ugly or handsome and wants to cover it up, the main reason is that he is not used to being able to communicate with other people like normal people, which is also one of the sequelae or habits left by the fat house uncle, but he barely got better after entering Gensokyo. But it's too good to be limited.
After telling the undead warhorse to stay outside the tavern door honestly and watch out for any petty thieves who wanted to take the sheep out of the bag on its back, Feng Longde grabbed the collar of his hood and cloak on his body, pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.
"Greetings to you, and happy birthday to you, Your Majesty!" Feng Longde had just entered the tavern. Almost all the drinkers on the first floor of the tavern let out almost synchronous cheers, which made Feng Longde so frightened that he almost went back outside.
"Mao's situation, you are" When Feng Longde finally got used to the cheers of a large group of drinkers in the tavern, he found that most of the drinkers on the first floor of the tavern were quite familiar: different styles but all maintained a burqa decorated with a black cross on a white background, light and heavy chain mail or black Teutonic Gothic plate armor, and the spirit unique to Teutonic soldiers that had been gradually cultivated through training and battle. The Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers and Guards Knights, except that the Boghall soldiers and Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers were surrounded by more or less human inhabitants, who should be their family members.
"Explain to me, how did they know that my birthday is today?" Feng Longde put down a few coins at the tavern owner, raised a glass of freshly brewed beer that had just been poured out of the barrel and made a toast gesture at everyone, after everyone responded violently, Feng Longde directly drank the beer in one gulp, and then found the nearest guard knight to ask in the soul connection.
"Some of the Boghall soldiers and Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers occasionally asked questions during their leisure from training, and we answered them if we didn't think it was a big deal. The knight of the guard replied indifferently, and pointed to the drinkers around him without holding a wine glass, "There are basically Teutonic soldiers and knights on vacation gathered here. Moreover, the Teutonic soldiers who drink and eat here are staying with their families, and they are very grateful that you can give them a chance to work, because they used to be in a lot of villages and towns, and they are not much of their embarrassing situation, but now they are enough to support themselves with their current salaries and gradually save a lot of savings, so to speak, their lives have changed dramatically, and they will naturally be very interested in everything about you. ”
"Okay," Feng Longde shrugged helplessly. At the same time, he raised a second glass of beer to the audience, and drank it again after holding it to the nearest drinker, "But I'm curious, how are you going to spend this holiday? Today is both the Triumphal Festival of the Teutonic Empire and the Christmas that modern humans think, oh, it's my eighteenth birthday, do you mean that you have been drinking alcohol all day in the tavern and stretching yourself into a round barrel?"
"How to live and how to live, those who want to spend Christmas according to the way of Christmas, and those who think about the Festival of Triumph go according to the etiquette of the Festival of Triumph. The knight of the guard also shook his shoulders as Feng Longde did. His hands tore at the toast on his plate without hesitation, "We, the knights of the Guard, and the Teutonic soldiers who want to celebrate the Triumphal Festival, intend to spend today as a day of relaxation, this is the order of Her Highness the Nether Demon Queen. Now that the overall strength and power of the Teutonic Empire have not yet recovered to the most basic level, it is impossible to arrange any celebrations, let alone hold a military parade into the city in the previous way, so we can only arrange for us Teutonic people to have fun by ourselves, and when the Teutonic Empire really returns to its former state, Her Highness the Nether Demon Queen will promise us. I will make up for all the celebrations that are missing on that day. ”
The soul fluctuations of the knights of the Guards seemed to be full of frank emotion, and Feng Longde inexplicably clenched in the heart of his soul: for these guys who were born as subjects of the Teutonic Empire. When I woke up from a long slumber and found that the Teutonic Empire had long since disappeared, the feeling was completely indescribable in any words, just like when I was an ordinary fat uncle, if I woke up the next morning and found that the environment I was familiar with had become a desolate and apocalyptic ruins, I would have had excellent psychological quality if I didn't go crazy on the spot, let alone the Teutonic people such as Caroline and Yarman, who were the Knights of the Guard, when they repeatedly confirmed that the situation around them had been completely turned into a situation that they could not understand。 I guess there will be a special feeling that I can't explain.
Although Von Rond usually gives people a feeling of being almost stunned, this Teutonic old man knows very well that his own dragon spirit prototype with two swords, or the current immortal king, is now the only pillar in the soul of all Teutons - Caroline desperately hopes that her brother can regain his original memory and strength as soon as possible, and Yarman and other knights of the Guard and other Teutonic Empire people and lich mages who have reawakened from the state of Silent Souls also hope that Von Dragond will restore and expand the former glory of the Teutonic Empire. The Boghall soldiers and Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, as well as the workers and technicians, who were originally ordinary human inhabitants of the human world, also hoped that the strength and power of the Teutonic camp would increase, after all, the better the situation in the Teutonic camp, the better the benefits and salaries they would enjoy for the various services provided to the Teutonic camp.
Perhaps in daily life, Feng Longde, as a veteran old otaku, may look like a big biao, as if he is a stupid big man, but he has also been in the position of the immortal king for almost a year, and naturally he knows very well a cautionary adage from the Teutonic Empire, and knows the meaning of it firsthand: power is not innate, but because you decide to take on the corresponding responsibility, you are qualified to exercise the rights that accompany it, and if you are a leader who cannot bring happiness to the people who follow you, then one day, you will be abandoned by your people。
It is precisely because he understands this sentence too well, and he can also feel the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, so Feng Longde has spent a lot of effort on both the tempering of his individual comprehensive strength and the overall development of the Teutonic camp, in order not to live up to the expectations of his people, and also to be worthy of everything he can enjoy now.
"Live your life as you want today, and don't forget about it - after the holidays, whether it is a Teutonic soldier or a knight of the Guard, as well as a worker or a technician, all come back to my training or work life. The many thoughts in the soul heart took him a few seconds at most, and Feng Longde, who came back to his senses, continued to say to the guard knight through the soul connection: "As for my birthday, I'll just have a few drinks with you, there's nothing to celebrate. As you said, a grand celebration or something, either at the time of victory or at the moment of re-emergence, rather than the current celebration seems more ironic and bleak, it is better to do your job and recharge your energy through rest and entertainment. ”
"Indeed, Your Majesty. The knight of the guard nodded, and then stared intently at the torn toasted bread on the plate in front of him, and put it in his mouth.
Although almost all the seats on the first floor of the tavern were occupied by the Guards Knights, Teutonic soldiers, and military dependents, Von found a suitable seat in it: many of the Teutonic soldiers spontaneously gave up a little space to make enough space for their undead monarch to drink with them and get a taste of the usual easy-going boss.
Feng Longde himself didn't feel that there was anything to refuse - anyway, he didn't plan how he would spend his time today, he planned to wander around aimlessly all day, and now it would be good to be able to drink with his subordinates and military dependents, it would be much better than walking through the streets and alleys of the entire world, and he was not a chengguan
So, after the waitresses in the tavern served a new batch of beer and various foods to all the drinkers present, Feng Longde's chat with them began. (To be continued.) )
