Chapter 19: Moonlight Like Water (5)
With the gold coins in her hand, Miss Wen Na was full of courage, first paid a high price for the three-story flat top building behind the store, and then connected the two houses with the alley more than two meters wide in the middle to build a fence, renovated it, and connected the three-story building she had just bought with the two storefronts in front, and more than doubled the business area at once. Following Lorlist's suggestion, he added a catwalk in the back, recruited several beautiful women with great figures as models, and walked on the stage to show off the new collection of clothing.
The former captain of the garrison who had sneaked back to the old territory of Windsor a month ago to find out the news came back with dozens of people, most of whom were servants and guards who had previously worked at Windsor Castle. After the arrival of the new lord, these old men of the Windsor family were swept away for safety reasons. Exiled. I heard that Miss Windsor and Little Master were in Moriente City, and they were willing to collect them, so they followed.
Among the new arrivals was a father and son, both cobblers and shoemakers, who had always been the exclusive shoemakers of the Windsor family. Their arrival made Lorist overjoyed. Soon, the Windsor women's boutique store launched a collection of high heels, which soon became popular throughout the city of Moronte. Although there are many businessmen who copy the Windsor store's collections, the rich and aristocratic recognize the small mermaid trademark of the Windsor store. Windsor, in the ancient Elf language, refers to mermaids. The coat of arms of the House of Windsor depicts a mermaid wielding a three-pronged fork in battle.
Now the nobles and wealthy of the city of Molente hold a party, and it would be a shame for the ladies of the family to not have a few sets of dresses and princess dresses from the Windsor store to attend, and there was even the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who changed a total of seventeen sets of clothes and seven pairs of high heels at the banquet, and turned the thank-you banquet held by her father into a clothing launch for the Windsor store.
Now that Miss Wenna has a deep understanding of what it means to be rich, she has abandoned the store to Susie and handed over the garment factory to Rina, and with the hard work of these two maids, the eldest lady has begun to turn her attention to the old territory of the family.
The handmaiden Rina's father, the Knight of Somme, had arrived in the city of Morente more than a month ago, and brought Rina's mother and two younger brothers with him. However, his injuries have not yet healed, and he will have to recuperate for a while.
Lorist admired this taciturn strong man, and sometimes thought that Rina was not his own, the temperament of the two was completely different, and it was hard to believe that this loyal and steady man would have such a playful and mischievous daughter. However, Rina looks very similar to her mother, except that her mother is gentle and kind. is not like a little girl, with a sharp mouth and a sharp mouth, she is unforgiving.
The loyal former captain of the Windsor family brought back the old men of the family and the news of the old territory. The old realm is in mourning due to the new lord's conquest, and people are nostalgic for the days when House Windsor ruled. Moreover, those lost former garrison members and soldiers of the family army have fallen into the grass one after another, and the old territory is full of smoke and chaos.
This is actually a very common phenomenon in Gelintya, after getting a new territory, the new lord will often adopt a high-pressure policy to squeeze the residents of the new territory, one is to make up for the price they have paid, and the other is to give the residents of the new territory a disadvantage. When the inhabitants had enough to prepare for a riot, they sent troops to suppress it and kill those who were loyal to the old lord. After killing the chickens and making an example, the remaining residents could only accept it, and then the new lord slowly relaxed his rule and implemented some policies to appease the people. Within a few years, the inhabitants of the new realm would naturally forget about the old lord and become obsessed with the new lord.
Lorist believes that this is the perfect time to infiltrate the old territory and organize a rebel army, and should not be missed. Knight Somme nodded in agreement. Miss Winna immediately decided that after attending her eighteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony, the Somme Knight would return to the old territory with a team of more than ten people and form the Windsor Rebellion. The initial task is to set up a few secret and safe camps, and then it is to gather the soldiers and guards who are still loyal to the family, and arrange secret agents to monitor the territory. After the preliminary preparations are completed, Miss Winna will organize the military personnel and equipment in the city of Morente to be sent to the old territory to support the Somme knights in their attack on the new lord.
The coming-of-age ceremony is a traditional aristocratic etiquette in Gelintya, which is not only a celebration of the adult of the children in the family, but also a form of expression of the elders' high hopes for the future development of the younger generations. It is usually given to men by elders of high moral dignity to wear swords, or to put flower crowns on adult women, and to say a blessing word. Then it's time to hold a banquet and have a carnival.
But the coming-of-age ceremony for Miss Wenna's eighteenth birthday was very shabby, and there were not many people present. The Lady of the Somme Knight put on a white wreath of flowers for the big-eyed girl, sprinkled it with holy water, and then put her palms together to wish the girl a carefree life, find a lover who is in love, and become a glorious mother and a virtuous lady.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, it was the succession ceremony of the Windsor family, and all the elders of the Windsor family walked forward one by one to salute the girl sitting on the top wearing a flower crown, saying that they would be dutiful and loyal to the glory and revival of the Windsor family. Even Lady Windsor, who was wearing a black cloak to cover her increasingly bloated body, led the curious young master to the girl and bowed halfway.
When everyone had finished saluting, the girl who had just become the head of the family stood up, let the former captain of the garrison named Hurd come and kneel before her, drew her sword and put it on his shoulder: "When the glory of House Windsor has fallen to dust, it is you, the valiant guard, who have not forgotten your duty, and brought protection to the weak and hope to the desperate. To pay tribute to the Warriors, and to reward the faithful deeds, I, the Eleventh Head of the House of Windsor, Windsor Billina, have appointed the Hurd Warriors as the Guardian Knight of the House of Windsor. ”
The girl slapped the blade of her sword twice on Hurd's shoulder.
Knight Somme took a few steps forward and asked loudly, "Knight Hurd, are you willing to be the last barrier of the mermaid castle?"
"I do!"
"Knight Hurd, are you willing to fight to the death under the banner of a merfolk?"
"I do!"
"Knight Hurd, are you willing to charge into battle to the sound of the merfolk's horn?"
"I do!"
"Knight Hurd, are you willing to dedicate your life to the glory of the Mermaid Badge until you die?"
"I do!" replied the Heard Knight, louder and louder, trembling with excitement.
"Then welcome to you, my brother!" Knight Somme strode forward, picked up Knight Hurd from the ground, and hugged each other tightly.
Everyone present began to applaud, and the applause was continuous.
As an invited observer, Lorist really sat quietly and watched the whole ceremony, but the scene in front of him seemed to touch the memory hidden in the depths of his heart, this is the memory of the original owner of the body, Xiao Locke, as if the Norton family also held such a ceremony to promote the knight of the family when Little Locke was a child, the same solemnity and heroism, but there were more people attending the ceremony and the atmosphere was more lively.
After the ceremony, Lorlist, the girl who had just become the head of the Windsor family and still wore a flower crown, the Somme Knights, who were about to lead the team, and the new Heard Knights sat together for the final planning. Miss Wenna has decided to establish the Windsor Chamber of Commerce to purchase weapons and equipment and recruit silver-tier mercenaries in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. and rejected the Heard Knights' suggestion to return to their old realm with the Somme Knights to organize a rebellion.
Miss Wen Na thinks that the top priority of the Heard Knight is to first practice the high-level wood attribute Dou Qi cheats given to him by the family, this high-level Dou Qi cheats book was purchased by Wen Na at a large price, just to be used as a gift to the Hurd Knight at the promotion ceremony of the family knight. The former garrison captain is a three-star black iron, wood attribute, with this high-level fighting spirit cheats of wood attribute, it doesn't take half a year to be promoted to the silver level.
However, the Heard Knight was eager to report to the Lord and was eager to serve. In the end, Miss Wenna agreed to let the Hurd Knight be responsible for the delivery of weapons and equipment and the reception of personnel.
Lorist has been warning the Somme knights that the first priority after arriving in the old territory is not to recruit members of the rebels to strengthen the ranks, but to choose camps and hidden hiding places first, establish a network of spies, and collect information about the new lord. Don't attack the castle and army of the new lord on the spur of the moment, in the beginning, everything is about self-preservation.
Knight Somme nodded amusedly, this boyfriend of the eldest lady is really interesting, has he forgotten that these requests have been repeated three times? But Knight Somme still thanked Lorlist, saying that he will not forget these advices when he goes.
It was late at night, and Lorist still didn't want to sleep, I don't know if it was the night of the Windsor family's knightly promotion ceremony that touched him, he suddenly found that he seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of the nobles. Maybe he was influenced too much by his previous life, and he always thought in his heart that the nobles were hypocritical, delicate and pretentious guys, just like those cartoons in the previous life, the nobles were vampires lying on the people, and the fat-headed and fat-brained moths that ate them. But today, the memory in his heart tells him that not all nobles are what he imagined, loyal, brave, fair, and self-disciplined, and there are many such nobles, who are equally loyal to their duties and have the same blood and heroism.
The door of the room was quietly pushed open, and the girl wearing the flower crown sneaked in in her white silk pajamas, first looked at the bed, found that there was no one, her beautiful nose wrinkled, and whispered to herself: "Where did this stinky guy go......"
Lorist chuckled "hehe", the girl was startled, turned around and saw Lorist standing in front of the window, and said angrily: "I haven't slept in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?"
Lorist was speechless...... He pointed to himself, then to the room, and finally to the girl. Meaning this is my room, why did you run in in the middle of the night?
Like a gust of breeze, the girl threw herself into Lorlist's arms in an instant, hooked Lorlist's neck with both hands, and exhaled: "I'm really happy tonight, I can't sleep." Locke, thank you, without you I wouldn't be where I am today, it was you who gave me hope and gave me tomorrow......"
The girl closed her eyes and offered a fragrant kiss.
Lorist responded enthusiastically.
Kissing and kissing, the two gradually became emotional, and Lorist found that he was a little uncontrollable.
The girl pushed Lorist away violently, her cheeks flushed: "Locke, I want to dance, I want to dance for you." ”
Barefoot girls, dancing in the bright silver moonlight on the dark red wooden floor, like the legendary moon elves, offer the most pious prayers to their Mother Goddess of the Silver Moon. The white nightdress is like a white nightshade that slowly blooms in the quiet night, quietly revealing its fragrance.
At the end of the last dance move, the girl stared in the silver moonlight, motionless, like a beautiful statue.
Lorist held out the thumbs of both hands.
The girl's face slowly turned red again, she slowly raised her hand, gently pulled the ribbon on her shoulder, and the white nightdress quietly fell to the ground......
A body as smooth as a beautiful jade appeared in front of Lorist, and his breathing had become heavy......
The girl's voice trembled: "Lo Locke, do you think I'm beautiful?"
Lorist incarnates as a wolf......
......
That night, the moonlight was like water......
......
Hehe, this is indeed a very old-fashioned love story......
