Chapter 54: Living in the Sun
In the year 755 of the Holy Spirit Empire, late autumn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
William and Sumera sailed south on a fishing boat and left the province of Northern Gus. They docked at the docks in the province of Nordus, abandoned their fishing boats and boarded a large merchant ship, choosing to continue on the waterway and return home.
The journey is always boring and boring.
After a month-and-a-half-long voyage at sea, the large merchant ship finally made its way through the Kuwaiti province, that is, at the dock in their hometown, where William and Sumera disembarked from the ship.
Calculated carefully, the last time William ran away alone was more than five months ago. At that time, it was still the season of early spring, and when I come back now, it is autumn, and it has almost been half a year.
This time the runaway from home was too long, William went home anxiously, the two did not choose to stay at the dock, but spent a lot of money to buy two fast horses, and rushed to the sunset town non-stop.
In the middle of the night, William and his wife arrived outside the town of Sunset.
By this time, most of the town's residents had fallen asleep, and only a few of the few or so homes were still lit up.
On the ridge of the wheat field, Sumera held the reins, sat on horseback, and stared at the beautiful town in front of her with beautiful eyes, and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"Don't worry, don't be so upset. ”
William's voice suddenly rang out, shattering the quiet atmosphere around him.
Sumera was slightly stunned and turned her head.
William smiled back, "Remember that unlucky ghost named Pichimus, the necromancer who turned into a bird and a snow eagle in the snow of the province of North Gus to hunt us down." ”
"Of course I do. You tricked him hard once at the time, and he was so angry that he couldn't look at it. Sumera smiled.
"I'm not talking about the hapless man. William smiled and shook his head, "You said at the time that if you can survive, you will be my wife." ”
When Sumera heard this, she winked playfully: "Did I say that? Why can't I remember?"
"Okay, yes, I was hallucinating, I heard it wrong. ”
William didn't smile, he looked into Sumela's eyes, and said with a serious face: "Actually, there is a sentence buried in my heart for a long time. Now, I want to say that to you. ”
"If you have something to say, I listen. Sumera laughed.
"I'm afraid you can't hear clearly, so I'd better be closer to you. ”
William said, riding his horse to Sumera. The distance between the two was so close that William could even smell the faint body fragrance on Sumela's body.
Sumera's pretty face rose a hint of ruddy, and she couldn't help but laugh: "What are you going to do?
Gazing at Sumera aggressively, as if admiring a fine work of art, William smiled with satisfaction. Although his voice was soft, he said very seriously: "One day, I will let my wife no longer care about her identity and live in the sun." ”
"So, you don't have to be as sad as before. Because it's my promise to you. ”
Sumera was stunned, and a smile froze on her face.
"Can you tell me why you like me?" she asked softly.
"Like someone, need a reason?" William asked rhetorically.
"Don't you need it?"
"Yes, no reason at all. William managed to get around Sumera.
Sumera: "......"
William: "......"
"Okay, I won't talk to you. Sumera said suddenly.
She unleashed a wind spell that rose into the sky like a fluttering butterfly and flew in the direction of Sunset Valley.
"Little man, don't forget your promise, I'll wait for that day to come. In mid-air, Sumela's laughter was heard from afar.
William smiled faintly.
It wasn't until Sumera's figure was completely submerged in darkness that William turned his horse's head and led the horses vacated after Sumera's departure to the sunset town.
Ten minutes later, in the castle of the Lester family.
Upon hearing the news of William's sudden return, almost half of the people in the castle were alarmed, and the oil lamps that had been blown out were rekindled, and the old butler Bill instructed the servants to prepare a supper to wash the dust for William.
I haven't been home for almost half a year, and there are a lot of unfamiliar faces in the house. They secretly looked at William, satisfying their curiosity to see how William differed from the legend.
William was simply watched like a monster by everyone.
"Young master, you are finally back! This has been gone for many months, and there is no news, and we are all very worried about you, especially the master. ”
Bill, the old butler, said with emotion, "I'm going to wake up the master." ”
"I don't need to wake up my father. And, I'm doing well. It's just that the distance is long, and it is very inconvenient to exchange letters. William stopped him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Baron Bazado's voice came from outside the living room: "Stinky boy, you don't want to tell me when you come back, your wings are hard, aren't you?"
With the sound of slight footsteps, Baron Bazado walked into the drawing-room, dressed in a thin coat and smiling face.
William had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Sir, I'll go and see how the servants are preparing for supper. The old butler bowed and said. He took all the servants present with him, so as not to disturb the reunion of William's father and son.
At this time, Baron Bazado sat down beside William.
William thought he would ask questions, ask himself where he had been in the past few months, etc., but William was wrong, and as soon as Baron Bazado opened his mouth, he just asked "how have you been doing?"
"I'm doing well. William laughed.
"That's good. ”
Bazado nodded slowly. He looked left and right for a moment before asking, "Are you coming back alone?"
William was stunned for a moment, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Baron Bazado's thinking. I was walking alone at the time. Isn't it normal to come back alone now?
"As soon as you came back, you didn't talk about those dull topics. Baron Bazado sighed and said something that William didn't understand, "You can rest at home for a few days first, and when the time comes, I have a special task for you." ”
William was even more puzzled, looking at his father suspiciously.
Baron Bazado said obscure words: "Don't think about it either. Sometimes, giving up a tree will result in an entire forest. Looking at the point, a life without failure is an incomplete life. ”
William was confused, and only felt inexplicable.
Seeing this scene, Baron Bazado sighed again and again: "You don't have to be sad and sad. ”
"Father, what do you want to say?" asked William, frowning.
Baron Bazado patted William's shoulder comfortingly, got up and said, "Alas, silly boy, rest early, let's talk tomorrow, it's not good to stay up late." ”
Looking at the departing back of Baron Bazado, William was speechless.
He thought about it for a long time, and then he remembered that the reason why he ran away from home in the first place seemed to be to pursue an unwarranted aristocratic lady...
And now that I'm back alone, does he think I'm out of love?
Thinking about the key point, William shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In this way, before accepting his father's 'special mission', William temporarily lived in the small town of Sunset.
A lot has happened in the few months that he has been away.
There are many things, but most of them are trivial, at least for William.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the beer business of the Lester family has grown a lot.
According to Bill, the old butler, when Kova was drinking beer, he had the idea to add some juice to the beer......
And so, fruit beer was born.
Compared to beer, fruit beer is obviously more able to capture the hearts of children.
Inspired by Kova, the Lester family began experimenting with all sorts of messy beers. What all kinds of juice-flavored beers, green melancholy beers, such beers, such beers......
The variety of beers has skyrocketed from a monotonous one to dozens of beers. Of course, most of them are quirky tastes.
Although there are only a dozen types of popular beers, including various fruit beers, they are much better than before.
The reputation of beer has almost completely been hit.
Not to mention that the whole world knows, at least in the Kuwaiti province, people have gradually embraced beer as a novelty drink.
The brewery in Sunset Valley has also been expanded repeatedly, and its area is almost three times that of the previous one.
On average, every half month, the Lester family, more or less, receives some orders for beer.
In the past, the Lester family made money from the taverns in Wildfire Town. And now, just the turnover of orders can make a profit of more than 100,000 gold coins every month!
When there were orders, the Lester family produced beer in large quantities for delivery, and sometimes Rhine, Kava, Crean, Dodora and others had to deliver it to their homes.
The focus of the beer business has completely shifted to production, instead of opening pubs and making money by selling beer.
It's a good thing, and William is happy about it.
Everything is on track, and William doesn't need to worry about it at all.
And in the past few days, William has also lived a very leisurely life.
During the day, talk to the old butler, talk to your father, catch up with Viscount Mordo, talk to Crean, discuss magic with Master Rhein, and drink wine and eat barbecue with Kova.
Sometimes, in the evening, William went to Sumera under the pretext of inspecting the brewery, and it was getting late today, so he spent the night......
Not to mention William's image of hard work in the eyes of outsiders, in short, William lived a very comfortable and leisurely life.
On the seventh day, a stranger came to the town.
It was a wandering samurai wearing a half-silver openwork mask, a black rag cloak, and leather armor...... At least, from the outside, this man is a wandering samurai.
William took the wandering warrior and took him as a servant.
On the eighth day, William carried out the 'special mission' of Baron Bazado.
