Chapter 252: Education for the New

"Cheering?"
Hearing this, not only Yuren, but even Ofaril was a little curious, after all, although the Twilight Forest has changed dramatically now, the nightlife is still very poor. Usually after dinner www.biquge.info O'Faryl will go back to his room to summarize the day's work life, and then read a book and rest. And Yu Lian's law is roughly the same, of course, it's not that he can't learn from those nobles to spend all night drinking and holding a beauty. According to Charlotte's statistics, now under the transformation of the source, almost all the geists have their own bodies, and these more than 200 geismas, if Yulian wants, then he can push one a day for a whole year without repeating the same. That's really called the wine pond meat forest, the gentle township of the wine and the earth......... But Yulian himself knew that he would never do this, especially in the Twilight Castle, otherwise, if a precedent was set, it would be like a steady stream of levee breachesβand the spirits would be waiting for this day.
So far, the relationship with Yulian has only been limited to Charlotte and the twin sisters, the former has absolute prestige in the geist, and those geist maids are jealous of no one who dares to envy her, and the latter is a relationship that all geists have known for a long time, so they don't take it to heart. But in addition to this, it can still be saved, of course, this does not mean that those wandering souls are hungry and thirsty like resentful women, but as Charlotte said, after so many years in the spirit state, it is difficult to regain the body, and it would be a pity not to do something.
Of course, although they have such and such thoughts, but the ghost maids did not deliberately show any special temptation in front of Yu Lian, since they have been following Yu Lian for a long time, they are naturally very familiar with their master, and they know that he does not like this. Second, these wandering spirits were also prominent figures during their lifetimes, and there was no shortage of the reserve of the girl and the glory of the strong, so of course they were not happy to let them scratch their heads like those tavern dancers. Therefore, these geists also held their breath, thinking that if they could successfully complete the task, attract Yuren's attention, and ask their master in the form of a reward when the time came, then it would be justified, and it would not damage their honor and reserve.
As for whether Yulian will play casually and throw them away, these ghost maids are not worried at all, you must know that even if the husband and wife have a day of divorce, their contract is engraved in the soul, and as long as Yulian lives, they will never be separated. This is more constraining and convincing than any mountain alliance and sea vow.
Because of this, You Lian also acquiesced to the private rules of these ghost maids, after all, although he said that as long as he wanted, anyone could be hugged to bed, but this group of people is not a passer-by A and B who meet in Pingshui, if it is not pleasing to the eye, if it is not pleasant, it is not pleasant to play, you can either give it away or kill it, and you can see it out of sight. Because of the soul contract, it is impossible for these geists to be separated from themselves, and if there is any contradiction at that time, it is definitely not a joke to be able to continue to the end of the old world, if you take such a team full of contradictions and divisions to the battlefield, You Lian feels a chill in his back when he thinks about it.
So, in the evenings, he just reads a book, and then most of the time he chats with the twin sisters, and then goes to bed -- I have to say, every time this is the point where Yulian suffers the most, this ghost place has no computer, no TV, no Internet......... It's really hard to pass the time.
So, at this moment, when I heard Charlotte say that she wanted to help the fun, he also became interested.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"Of course. β
In response to Julien's inquiry, Charlotte crossed her hands and smiled politely and kindly.
"In my hometown, every night in the depths of winter, there will be such an event, where everyone will show what they have gained in the past year under the dark night and snow, and of course, the most important thing is that it will make everyone deeply feel that they have not spent the year in vain, but have gained growth and the most important thing. β
"That's good. β
Julien didn't have a problem with this, Charlotte's words reminded him of the New Year's Day and New Year's parties he had seen on Earth, of course, at the time, he only felt disgusting and had no interest in watching it at all. But now that I think about it, even the pig-like chorus seems to be much more pleasant.
"I'm also interested. β
O'Faryl also agreed immediately, but from her standpoint, it was not that she had any expectations for the evening's entertainment, but that Charlotte's words of showing herself and experiencing the harvest made her deeply touched. Thinking about it, it would be nice to have such an event that people can carefully feel and recall the harvest and journey of the year at the end of the year. At least it was much more meaningful than the boring and complicated drinking parties in the palace.
However, not everyone agrees.
"Hey, Charlotte?"
Judy scratched at her hair, then frowned.
"Do you have this custom in your hometown? I remember that you were not from the southern Kol Plains, where it is not ......... in winter."
"Is there such a custom?"
But before Judy could finish her sentence, Charlotte interrupted her question with a smile, and then our maid puffed out her chest, crossed her slender fingers and squinted at Judy with a soft smile.
"There's a custom, isn't it? β
"Well, I remember ......... before."
"Is there such a custom?"
β........................β
"Miss Judy is really a noble person, and everyone has participated in it before. β
"This ......... It seems like...... Yes........."
Although she was very confident in her memory, after seeing Charlotte's warm smile like early spring, Judy felt a chill in her heart for no reason, and finally had to reluctantly swallow her inquiry. Unlike the others, Judy is not fooled by Charlotte's appearance. In fact, she still clearly remembered that when she was summoned by the Church of Grace and saw Charlotte for the first time, she had such a harmless smile, and she looked at the young alchemist with a little disdain in her heart, thinking that the other party was just a little woman, completely lacking the momentum of battle on the battlefield.
But later, Charlotte showed her strength in another way, and she actually survived the bloody, death, and cruel competition. This girl, who looked thin and vulnerable in Judy's eyes, used her wisdom and terrible alchemy brilliantly to kill dozens of knights and archmages, and even induced herself to turn against her own subordinates, paying a terrible sacrifice and price.
Of course, in the end, Charlotte didn't make it to the end, although there were so many grievances in her life, the so-called death and hatred, and in the end everyone died, so don't mention the past. But Charlotte's cunning at that time left a deep impression on her, and Judy was already well aware of the fact that the girl was a character who ate people and did not spit out bones.
Which one is she singing today?
"But what exactly is it going to show?"
O'Faryl was still very thoughtful.
"Since it's an event at a banquet, it shouldn't be too intense. β
"Of course not, everyone is just showing their skills, after all, only those who are most familiar with can detect whether there is progress and gain. β
Answering Offariel's question, Charlotte looked at Judy again.
"Well, then, Miss Judy, please make a start. β
"Me?"
Hearing Charlotte's words, Judy was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved her hand.
"Charlotte, how can I do it? I don't know how to be talented......"
"Don't say that, it's a rare pleasure, Miss Judy is a girl anyway, so there's always something to get her hands on. β
The smiling maid said something that seemed to be very excessive.
"Speaking of which, I'm also looking forward to what kind of performance Miss Judy will bring to us. β
O'Faryl didn't seem to hear Charlotte's words at all, but Yulian narrowed his eyes slightly, but he glanced at Charlotte, and finally just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
"In that case.........
Judy glanced at Yulian in embarrassment, seeing that his master had no intention of breaking the siege at all, and the people around him were looking at him expectantly, even from the beginning of the banquet to the present, Messia and Semiya, who had been sitting quietly next to Yulian as a good baby, were also chuckling and looking at themselves at the moment, and had no choice but to grit their teeth, and then stood up.
"So, I'm going to put on a show for everyone. β
As she spoke, she strode away from the table and into the open space next to her, and then the red-haired girl closed her eyes.
She reached out and pressed the hilt of her sword, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes.
And at that moment, the air suddenly changed.
In the eyes of everyone, Judy at this moment was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and it exuded a cold glow in an instant!
Then, the light and shadow flickered.
The next moment, Judy's sword was drawn, and she slowly moved forward with both hands in her hand.
Seeing this action, not only Ofaril, but even Faren was a little confused, they were all people who fought with weapons, and they knew that in battle, it was very important to be fast, accurate, and steady. However, at the moment, Judy's movements are so slow, which ...... It's not fighting. However, just when the two of them thought of this, Judy's movements suddenly became faster!
It was not a kind of accelerated speed, but a kind of slow stillness, which suddenly burst into speed, accompanied by a loud sound of breaking the air, her movements immediately became faster, and the whole person was like a piece of ice that suddenly melted, bursting into a jumping flame! And what is even more surprising is that Judy's movements are not only fast, but also with a considerable sense of beauty, so that people's eyes involuntarily follow her movements, for a while, almost everyone sitting there is paying attention to Judy's movements, and their eyes follow the long sword in her hand to fly up and down, it seems that for them, only this is the most natural. And once he tried to withdraw his gaze from the sword in Judy's hand, there would be a very uncomfortable reaction, as if he had forcibly deviated from some natural track.
"Drink!!"
With a crisp low shout, Judy's movements suddenly stopped, she held the sword in one hand, and leaned forward slightly, as if a cheetah was about to pounce on her prey, and like a longbow full of strings, a feeling full of strength and softness immediately appeared in her body.
Then, the red-haired female swordsman let out a long breath, then put her sword back into its sheath, and then solemnly bowed to everyone present with a knightly salute, and then returned to her seat and sat down.
"Haaa......"
And until this time, Shirley was still covering her chest, looking at Judy with round eyes in surprise, she can be said to be the person who has the least connection with the battle among the people present, and naturally she can't experience the feeling of battle. But even so, the swordsmanship that Judy had performed just now still surprised her and made her breathless with nervousness.
"It's wonderful, Miss Judy, I never expected to be able to see such a powerful swordsmanship, is this your swordsmanship?"
"It's not swordsmanship, Miss Shirley. β
Judy said, her face slightly straightened.
"It's just a sword dance, and it was used a long time ago in ceremonies to boost morale and pray for victory before the start of war. β
"Hey, can't this kind of swordsmanship be used in actual combat?"
Hearing this, Ofaril couldn't help but ask in surprise, at least in all fairness, if you substitute yourself in it, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with such a swordsmanship that is still in movement and movement in stillness.
"The moves are too aesthetically pleasing and less practical. β
Yu Lian quickly explained.
"Although a series of fluent changes may seem pleasing to the eye, in a real war, you can't have only one enemy, so once interrupted, you have to start all over again, plus it is too cumbersome to use in real combat. β
However, then he looked up and nodded appreciatively at Judy.
"But it's beautiful, it's well done, Judy. β
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your appreciation. β
Hearing Yulian's words, Judy couldn't help but bow her head and thank you, and at the same time, a hint of red brilliance flashed on her face.
"So, who's next?"
It's clear that Charlotte seems to be ready to dedicate herself to the promising job of hosting. She clapped her hands lightly to attract everyone's attention, then smiled, and then turned her gaze to Shirley, who was sitting opposite.
"Miss Shirley, could you please put on a show?"
"This ...... I don't have a sword dance as heroic as Miss Judy. β
"It doesn't matter, that kind of performance is enough for one time, and if there are too many, it's not good for a banquet. β
Charlotte, who had once again spoken very excessively as if nothing had happened, seemed to be completely unaware of any problems, and only began the next round of agitation with a smile.
"As long as Miss Shirley is good at it, you can do it, after all, this is just an ordinary banquet, not a formal occasion. β
"In that case........."
Perhaps because Charlotte's reassurance worked, Shirley wasn't as nervous as she had been. Although she is not as strong as others, as a princess who has been raised as a work of art, Shirley's education has not been left behind. Soon, she brought a harp and played a beautiful love story for everyone.
I have to say that this is a surprise for everyone, including You Lian, who didn't expect that this vase princess who seems to be natural to home and does not leave the door can sing a good song, and her musicality is also very good.
As soon as the music ended, there was a round of applause.
"It's really Miss Shirley, I didn't expect to have such a performance ability. β
Charlotte, as the host, seems to be planning to follow through.
"It's nothing. β
Shirley, on the other hand, lowered her head with a blushing face, as if she was very embarrassed by the applause she received, and at the same time secretly raised her head to look at Youlian who was smiling and clapping, and then, she also showed a happy smile.
"It's just that I've learned it before, and it's not a talent to be proud of. β
"But your playing is really good, Miss Shirley. β
Yuren looked at Shirley and smiled appreciatively.
"I've never heard such a beautiful performance, can I ask you to perform again in the future?"
"If it's for the lord, I'd love to. β
At this moment, the atmosphere at the banquet has become much more enthusiastic, because there are no troublemakers, so everyone's performance is very relaxed. The twin sisters were playing with the wine glasses in their hands, chuckling softly and talking to each other. And O'Faryl also frowned slightly and began to think, it seems that she is already preparing for what she should perform when it is her turn. No one noticed that Fa Lian's facial expression was a little stiff at this moment, especially after Yulian said something to Shirley before, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
It was a look of loss, unease, hesitation and doubt.
At this moment, Charlotte had already turned to her.
"Now, then, Miss Faren, please put on a show. β
"Huh?"
Hearing Charlotte's inquiry, Farin shuddered, then raised her head like an electric shock and looked at Charlotte uneasily.
"I, me?"
"Of course. β
Charlotte's smile was as bright as the sun of early spring.
"Miss Judy performed a sword dance for us, and Miss Shirley performed a good performance and singing for us. So, what kind of performance will Miss Farren give us? We're really looking forward to it?"
"I ........."
"Ah, don't be so nervous, it's just an after-show at the banquet, and Miss Farin doesn't have to think too much. β
"I ...... I ........."
In the face of Charlotte's smile, Pharen's expression was very complicated, she opened her mouth, but in the end she did not say anything, but lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then stood up.
"This ...... Allow me to prepare. β
"Of course, Miss Faren, we're all looking forward to it. β
"Uh-huh........."
After a hurried response, Farin immediately turned and left the restaurant, but Judy, who noticed this, frowned, and then walked to Charlotte's side.
"Hey, Charlotte, what the hell do you want to do. β
"Huh?"
"Miss Farin is your guest, and it's not good for you to embarrass her like this. β
"Isn't that embarrassing? Miss Judy. β
Charlotte held up a finger and put it to her mouth.
"It's a matter of educating newcomers, and it's important for them to know their abilities and position.........
Saying this, Charlotte's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed inside.
"I want her to know that the master's harem is not something that can be entered if you want to. β
