Chapter 24: Welcome Ceremony

In the year 754 of the Holy Spirit Empire, in the middle of summer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the scorching summer, the heat is coming, and the heat is unbearable.

It was in such a hot and sweaty weather that William, Master Rheinland, and Kova finally stepped into Kuwait Province and came to the fiefdom of the Lester family, Sunset Town.

In the correspondence, receiving the news that Young Master William would be returning today, the Lester family was busy early, preparing a sumptuous feast and a grand welcome ceremony.

At that time, when William left, he announced that he had been hired by a large amount of money to study magic at Master Rhine. Now that William is back, of course he has to give a grand welcome.

The long red carpet stretches directly from the main street of the castle in the center of Sunset Town to the outside of Sunset Town.

And on the long red carpet, almost every ten meters, there stood a guard of the Lester family, holding a spear, looking curiously in the same direction, their faces full of uncontrollable joy.

Captain Dodora was also there. He stood at the entrance of the sunset town with Viscount Bazado, who had temporarily left his heavy duties, and Dodora's father, the old butler Bill, waiting to welcome William's return.

In fact, not only the people of the Lester family, but even the names of the people in the sunset town who heard the news also came from their homes and joined the grand welcome ceremony.

For them, the name William Rester is louder than his father, Viscount Bazado.

By now, almost every household already knows that William invented beer and resurrected the down-and-out Lester family.

Even, when many adults educate their children, they follow William Rest's example and want their children to learn from William.

In addition to the elderly, adult men, and children, there were also many upright young girls in the welcoming procession.

They heard rumors that William was not only handsome, but also very humble and courteous, gentle, young and learned.

Not only is he shrewd and capable, he has also learned magic......

Almost every girl in the flower season has a lot of affection for William, and they are eager to see what the rumored William looks like.

Under the expectation of everyone, William, Master Rhein, and Kova finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Master William, is this the town of the sunset? The people here seem so friendly, and they start welcoming us before we even arrive. ”

Under the scorching summer sun, Kova took out a towel to wipe the hot sweat on her forehead, and looked at the spectacular welcome procession in the distance, and couldn't help but ask William suspiciously.

William shook his head and didn't speak.

Kova turned her head to look at Mage Rhine, who was at the back of the line.

"How do I know. Maybe it's a big guy from the town. Anyway, let's hurry up. I'm dying of heat, I need to go back and take a cold shower. ”

The heat was unbearable, and Master Rhine was hot like a pug, constantly sticking out his tongue and opening his mouth to spit hot air.

As he spoke, he cast a small wind magic spell and blew it on himself, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Whew!

William waved his whip at this time, and the newly replaced horse under his crotch suddenly ran, and he urged: "Master Rhine is right, let's run." ”

Master Rhein and Kova had no objections.

They rode tall horses, followed behind William, and soon came to the gate of the town of Sunset.

"Welcome home, Young Master William!"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed guard raised his spear and cheered loudly.

The silent crowd also seemed to be infected, and the people cheered loudly and shouted the same way: "Welcome Master William home!"

One over the other.

William, Master Rhine, and Kova were stunned.

At the gate of the town, a smile appeared on Viscount Bazado's face. He took the old butler Bill and the captain Dodora and walked slowly to the tall horse ridden by William, looked up at his son's familiar face, and smiled kindly: "My son, welcome home!"

In such a hot weather, his father Bazado actually brought so many people, under the scorching sun, waiting to welcome him.

Most of the people's faces also revealed sincerity and curiosity, and there was no complaint.

William's heart was moved.

"Father, I'm back!"

He rolled underneath and grabbed his father's arm, smiling as if the ice and snow had melted.

Under the welcoming ceremony, William walked all the way down the red carpet, accompanied by the cheers of the people, and frequently greeted the eager onlookers on both sides of the main street, all the while smiling.

By the end, William felt like his face was cramping.

However, fortunately, he had nothing to do with the rest of the matter.

He first returned to the castle and took a cold shower, refreshing himself. When he came out, he didn't see the shadow of Master Rhein and Kava.

"Master William, they were all taken down by my father to assign rooms. ”

Captain Dodora stepped forward.

William nodded slowly, "What about my father?"

Captain Dodora smiled, "Master Bazardo has set up a lot of big tents outside the castle and is entertaining his people with beer. Do you want to take a look?"

William smiled: "Then go and see." I came back with a gift for my father. ”

Outside the castle, under a large awning, five or six hundred people sat in separate seats. On the table, there are bunches of beer, some peanuts and other common snacks.

Under an awning, William found Viscount Bazado, who was toasting a beer with an old man.

"Sorry for the mistake. ”

Seeing William coming, and realizing that there was probably something to find him, Viscount Bazado apologized, got up and left the wine table, and followed William to a relatively quiet corner.

"Is there anything going on?" asked Viscount Bazado with a smile.

"Father, close your eyes first, I have brought back a gift for you. William said mysteriously.

Viscount Bazado laughed dumbly. But he closed his eyes anyway, as William had said.

William took out an object from the Ring of the Dead: "Alright, now you can open your eyes." ”

Viscount Bazado opened his eyes and was stunned.

I saw William holding an oil painting in his hand.

This oil painting, Baron Bazado is no stranger, is the work of the master Picasdel.

It has always been the ancestral heirloom of the Lester family. However, since the bankruptcy of the Lester family, this oil painting has also been sold along with the mansion in the imperial capital.

"When we sold this oil painting, it seemed that it only sold for a few dozen gold coins, right? But when I found it in the imperial capital and bought it back, it cost me nearly a year of gold coins. Those businessmen are really black-hearted. ”

William explained with a smile, "But who called this oil painting an ancestral item of our family and my father's favorite work? ”

Viscount Bazado opened his mouth, but did not speak.

William laughed, "Father, do you want to praise your son?" Don't think about it, praise me with the most flowery words, I'm ready." ”

Viscount Bazado scolded with a smile and gave William a light punch: "Stinky boy, I haven't criticized you yet, your tail will rise to the sky." Get ready and get ready, I'm going to put you to the test in the evening, and see how you've learned magic with Master Rhein over the years. ”

William smiled and walked away.

Probably, only in front of the closest people will he show his unknown side.

If Master Rhine saw William's appearance just now, his eyes would widen in surprise, and he said with surprise: "Is this still the mature and steady William in my impression?"

.........

Time always flies.

William returns to Sunset Town, and before he knows it, three days have passed.

Over the course of three days, William discovered a serious problem.

In Wildfire Town, the beer business plummeted by 50% all of a sudden.

I used to be able to net 2,000 gold coins a day, but now I can only earn 1,000 gold coins a day, and sometimes only a few hundred gold coins.

For this reason, William also personally took Master Rhine to the town of Wildfire to have a look, and he found that in each tavern, there were many fewer customers at once.

In Wildfire Town, the head of the Tavern of the Lester family, the Crean who was originally a thief, but William took a fancy to his ability and pulled it up with one hand, he told William: "Actually, the beer business is declining, and no one else can be blamed, and there is nothing wrong, everything is normal." ”

William was even more puzzled, and under his questioning, Crean finally told the root cause.

"It's hot right now, and not only our beer, but also some other small villages, towns and even some cities in the vicinity, the liquor industry is declining. ”

"But, Mr. William, don't worry. As long as the summer passes, our beer business will definitely turn around. ”

Crean told the truth.

In his heart, he has always been very grateful for William's promotion and trust, and for this, he has worked hard and conscientiously not to disappoint William. And William also took a fancy to this, and gradually began to reuse Crean, arranging his position to rise again and again.

By now, Bill, the old butler of the Lester family, had completely gotten rid of the beer business, and all he had to do was make a trip to Wildfire once a month to check the ledger with Crean and collect the gold, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

"Because of the hot weather, the beer business went down, and I was negligent to miss that. ”

William seemed a little remorseful for Crean's statement, "Actually, beer is the best seller on a hot day. Just add some ice and turn the room temperature beer into a cold beer. ”

"I'll figure out a way to do this, you wait for my news. ”

After saying goodbye to Crean, William returned to Sunset from Wildfire Town, where he summoned Master Rhine and Kova to his study.

"Do you have any way to come up with a device that can make ice?"

When it came to his own beer business, William was the first to ask.
