January 15, 455 New World Calendar, light snow .....

Snowflakes fall slowly, falling on the heads of pedestrians and turning into cold droplets of water.

But no one showed disgust at this, but a smile on their faces.

Because, today is the Winter Snow Festival!

After a lapse of 8 years, the Winter Snow Festival has finally come to Corso Wedge again.

In half a month, the residents who fled had already rushed back.

The city is no longer in ruins, and people are building houses in full swing.

The whole city is in ruins, presenting a vibrant scene.

The streets are also getting ready for the Winter Snow Festival.

The lights are colorful, and the laughter is so lively.

Albert walked down the street carrying a bundle of planks, looking at the street with a smile on his face.

"Hee-ha-ha... Come after me! Come after me...."

"Don't run, wait for me... Hahaha...."

A couple of playful little kids ran past Albert and almost hit him.

Albert was startled and hurriedly avoided the side, and the plank on his shoulder began to fall backwards.

"Oh! Yo yo yo yo...."

Albert took a few steps back with a flushed face, and staggered to a tin bridge to stand the plank in his hand behind him.

Boom!

There was a dull thud, and the plank in Albert's hand stood firmly on the ground.

He jerked over and yelled at the children who had run away:

"Hey! It's dangerous, show me some way, don't hit people again! ”

"Yes~ha...."×n

"Really..."

Albert smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

Stoop down and lift the plank and continue walking towards your destination.

It wasn't long before Albert heard a knock in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of hammers hitting wooden planks can be heard from newly built houses.

In the past few days, Albert doesn't know how many voices he has heard.

But Albert couldn't get tired of listening to it, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Quickening a few steps to his feet, Albert ran towards the house.

Burleigh, who was busy on the roof, noticed Albert running towards him, and immediately stood up and waved his hand.

"Hey! Albert, you're back. ”

Boom!

Albert put the plank in his hand on the ground and shouted at Burleigh with a smile:

"Uncle Burleigh, I've moved the planks, this is the last batch of today!"

"Oh! Great work. ”

Burleigh clapped his hands and climbed down the ladder from the roof.

"I'm sorry, I don't have enough people at home, so I can only ask your brothers and sisters to help."

Burleigh scratched his head and smiled apologetically.

"It's okay, Uncle Burleigh has taken care of me and Shirley since I was a child, this little help is nothing."

Albert looked up at the newly built house and said:

"This house doesn't seem to be the same as it used to be."

"Hahaha... That's right, the original house is broken, so let's build a new one.

Lixia has always hated the kitchen being too small, and Phyllis has always wanted a bigger room....."

Albert looked at the smile on Burleigh's face, who had been chattering, and couldn't help but laugh along.

"Brother, you're back, just in time I brought food!"

Shirley came from a distance with a large basket in her hand, and before she could get closer, she was already shouting.

Dressed in a thick winter coat and cape, the little face wrapped in a scarf is full of smiles, making Shirley look a little petite and cute.

"Shirley! It's hard work, what's going on over there in the tent? ”

Burleigh took the basket from Shirley's hand and asked with a smile on his face.

"It's almost ready, and when the afternoon ceremony is over, the night celebration can begin."

Shirley said with a grin as she took a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Albert.

Albert took the snow from his face and returned the handkerchief to Shirley.

Burleigh placed the basket on the stump and shouted to Albert and Shirley:

"Let's eat, Shirley will eat too."

"No need uncle, I've already eaten with Aunt Lixia and Phyllis, and we're still waiting for me to help."

Shirley put away her handkerchief and smiled at Burleigh.

With that, she nodded to Albert and turned to walk towards the tent area.

"What a good boy, and I'll be a good wife in the future."

Burleigh looked at Shirley in the distance and sighed, thinking of his rough daughter and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hahaha, Uncle Burleigh, you really love to laugh, Shirley hasn't arrived yet."

Albert snorted, but kept his eyes on Shirley's back.

"yes.... Shirley will be an adult next year. ”

Albert muttered to himself, thinking about finding a candidate for Shirley.

He always hoped that Shirley could live her life safely and warmly.

Married to a husband who loves her, and has one or two lovely children who will call her uncle.

If the child is a boy and a girl, that's the best.

Shirley just has to live a peaceful and ordinary life smoothly like this!

Those things of the nobles, as long as he solves them alone.

Albert couldn't help but feel gloomy when he thought of his father and the woman.

But in an instant, Albert had already retracted his face.

He shook his head and smiled, and said to himself:

"Really, what am I anxious about? Shirley will only be 15 years old next year. ”

There are many choices in life, and Albert doesn't want to limit Shirley's life.

Speaking of which, Albert had previously taken a fancy to one of his teammates when he was in the Adventure Party.

has a gentle personality and is talented, although the appearance is ordinary, but this is also a plus for ordinary life.

His name is ...... Huh?

It seems to be called.....

"Huh? What is the name? ”

The expression on Albert's face stiffened slightly, and the noise in his ears gave him a headache.

He staggered to the guardrail behind him, his eyes closed and his brow.

Burleigh, who was eating, also noticed Albert's abnormality and hurriedly ran over to help Albert.

"Albert, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Not feeling well? ”

Burleigh looked at Albert's furrowed brows and called his name anxiously.

But after a while, the expression on Albert's face instantly relaxed.

Albert opened his eyes, looked at the anxious Burleigh as usual, and said:

"Uncle Burleigh, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me, what's wrong with you? You looked like you were going to faint just now, and your body is fine, right? ”

Burleigh put his hand on Albert's forehead, the boy must have a fever.

"Fainted? How is that possible, oops! Uncle Burleigh, I don't have a fever, I'm fine! ”

Albert knocked Boehly's hand off, stood up and did a triple flip.

Standing steadily, Albert looked back at Burleigh and said:

"Look, I'm fine! Uncle Burleigh you're making too much of a fuss, probably because I'm hungry. ”

Burleigh picked up the sandwich in the basket and took a full bite.

"It looks like it's okay, you scared me just now. It's better to go to the hospital to check it, you are not enough, not enough for me to give you. ”

Burleigh looked at Albert, who seemed to be fine, and the look on his face eased a lot.

Redo it on the stump, pick up your sandwich and hand it to Albert.

"Whew!"

Albert hurriedly shook his hand and laboriously swallowed the sandwich in his mouth.

"Huh! No, no, I'll have one! Wait a minute, I'm going to eat at Master's. ”

"Master?"

Burleigh was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Oh! O Lord Caleb! You kid is really lucky, you actually worshipped such a powerful big man as a teacher. ”

"Huh? Uncle Burleigh knows this? I shouldn't have told you about my apprenticeship? ”

Albert scratched his head in confusion, but Burleigh laughed on the side.

"Hehehe... And you say, that the deeds of Lord Caleb have been reported to the city next door.

Even Lord Caleb has been talked about what he eats every day, and your little thing has long been rumored to be rotten. ”

Albert scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

"Huh! By the way, when are you going to Caleb-sama? ”

Burleigh suddenly remembered something and asked Albert.

Albert didn't think about it and said:

"Oh, it's 12 o'clock...."

Suddenly Albert froze as the bell, which symbolized 12 o'clock, rang slowly.

"Oops, I'm late! Uncle Burleigh, I'll go first! ”

Albert slapped his thigh and hurriedly got up and ran to Caleb's hotel.

"Huh! Slow down, come with me and say hello to Lord Caleb! Really, frizzy...."

Burleigh stretched out his head and shouted at Albert who was far away, and finally only shook his head helplessly and laughed.

............

"Hah... Hah...."

Running at full speed to the door of the hotel, Albert crossed his waist and gasped inside.

"Hah... Hah... Whew—it's okay, it's just two minutes late...."

Albert looked at the hotel wall and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There was no one in the hotel, and now it was just Caleb and the girls.

Those residents knew that Caleb lived here, and they all tacitly did not choose to disturb Caleb and the others.

Even the owner of this inn obediently stayed in the tent area.

Hear Shirley say that he is there every day now and brags to others.

Albert ran up to the top floor and towards the only gate.

Before Albert could get closer, he saw that the door was open.

Shirayuki stood in the doorway and nodded at him.

"Miss Bai Xue, good afternoon."

Albert gasped and greeted Shirayuki with a smile.

Snow smiled and said to Albert:

"Come in, my lord is already waiting."

"Ah, yes!"

Albert hurried into the room.

Upon entering is a spacious living room.

A large floor-to-ceiling window brightens up the living room.

In previous lives, the design of floor-to-ceiling windows originated in the 17th century.

This kind of room design can be considered very advanced in this day and age.

The decoration in the whole house is also to achieve aristocratic luxury.

Hand-carved wood furniture, large enough to sit down on a delicate sofa for several people.

Sparkling chandeliers and beautifully embroidered red carpets.

Understated and luxurious décor, all set with precious stones and gold on closer inspection.

Albert looked at the scene in front of him, looking a little dazed.

He had lived in this kind of room before..... It's just a bad memory.

yin——

There was a humming sound, and Albert froze in place again.

"Are you coming? Hurry up and sit, don't stand. ”

At this moment, a soft female voice came, which brought Albert to his senses.

Albert looked in the direction of the sound and saw a rectangular table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Betty was sitting at the table, beckoning him to come and sit down.

"Ahh Okay, Miss Betty. ”

Albert nodded hurriedly, and ran over to sit at the end of the table, far away from Betty.

As soon as he sat down, Albert glanced at Betty with a slight restraint.

He had very little contact with Betty, after all, a mage and a warrior really didn't have much to do with each other.

For a moment, Albert didn't know what to say.

But Betty seemed very natural, slowly put down the book in her hand, looked at Albert and said:

"Caleb cooked for himself today, you are in good fortune, his cooking is delicious."

Albert was still looking for a topic, and was startled by Betty's sudden voice.

"Ahh Be... Is that so? I've never eaten Master's cooking. ”

"Hehehe, are you nervous?"

"Ah, no...."

Boom!

Ena, covered in blood, ran in through the door.

Taking a wet towel from Bai Xue's hand and wiping the blood on her face, Ena said with a happy face:

"I'm back! Oops~ The Warcraft needed for the celebration is too hard to find, and I searched for a long time to find a good one.... Oh! Albert, you're here! ”

Suddenly, Ena saw Albert and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Ena."

In the face of Ena, Albert was not so reserved.

He greeted Ena with a smile on his face.

"Now that everyone is gathered, let's serve the food. Ena, go change your clothes, Shirayuki. ”

"Yes, Mistress Betty! Everything is ready, Lord Ena. ”

"Oooh!"

Bai Xue pulled Ena and walked to the changing room.

The kitchen door also slowly opened, and the five Bai Xue each pushed the dining cart out.

It didn't take long for the long table to be filled with food.

Chinese, Western, and various delicacies are dazzling.

Albert had long forgotten his previous nervousness, and his eyes were staring directly at the food on the table.

It didn't take long for Ena to run out steaming all over.

It seems that I took the opportunity to take a shower when I changed clothes.

"Wow! Is it so abundant today? ”

Ena sat down close to Betty, her eyes sparkling at the food on the table.

"Are the dishes ready?"

Betty asked Bai Xue beside her slowly, with a little more uncertainty in her eyes.

"Lord Betty, there is another one, my lord said that he would go up in person."

As soon as Bai Xue finished speaking, the kitchen door was opened by two Bai Xue.

Caleb came out with a tray and shouted as he went:

"Aha, here comes the chicken soup~"
