Chapter 101: Picnic

"Teacher, a group of people just came and gave us two cows and a horse!"

Seeing Char return, Arthur, who was standing at the door communicating with the horse, immediately reported to him.

Alicia and Isabel were both looking at the horse's side.

"This horse is beautiful." Isabel commented, "It should be the military horse of the West French army, there is no such horse in Sasili." ”

"Teacher, how about her name Luna?" Arthur asked.

"The moon," Char thought for a moment, "Sonny is the sun, so that's right." ”

He looked at Arthur, "Then this horse will be handed over to you to take care of in the future, that is, can you ride a horse?" ”

"I can learn." Arthur said, "I've always wanted to learn how to ride a horse!" ”

Char nodded, "You really want to learn how to ride a horse, and you will always need it in the future, but I don't know how to ride." ”

"Is there anything you can't do?" Isabel teased.

Char shrugged, "There are no omnipotent people in this world, are they?" ”

"What then?" Arthur said in frustration.

"Ahem."

Isabel coughed twice, "Did you forget about me?" ”

Char also seemed to remember something, "You royal family should all ride horses, right?" ”

"It's the most basic." Isabel raised her head and said, "It's not just me, so will Alicia." ”

"It's really royal." Char looked at Alicia and teased, "Anything is the best." ”

It seemed to feel Char's gaze, and for some reason, Alicia's cheeks flushed, but there were no words.

"Let's go on a picnic at noon today." Char said, "How about being on the edge of a big lake on the peninsula?" ”

Hearing this, Arthur's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Okay! ”

Alicia nodded, "There are still some cold foods in the cupboard, which are about to expire, and I just brought them over to eat." ”

So they went back to the castle and began to prepare for the noon picnic.

Char put the military horse named Luna on the grassland of the peninsula by the way, and she seemed to like the grassland very much, and as soon as she let go of the reins, she ran freely on the grassland of the peninsula.

They came to the big lake in the center of the peninsula, laid out the cloths, laid out cold foods such as bread, and brought a few bottles of jam.

Alicia cut a few pieces of meat from the cows and skewered them on a few iron skewers.

Today's weather is very nice, with clear skies and large clouds hanging in the sky, so it's not too hot and not too cold.

It's not a wind zone, so the waves are gentle and the breeze is weak, and occasionally it blows by, bringing a hint of coolness.

This time, the whole castle basically came out, even Cassifer ran out, and Char also made the best use of everything, dug a pit by the lake, and put some firewood for him to burn in it.

And those skewers of beef were roasted by Char next to the fire, and the juice bubbled out after a while.

I haven't eaten Sasili's beef in a few days, and the smell of it makes me a little tongue-in-cheek.

When the beef skewers were ready, Char put a chair on the edge of the lake and set up a fishing rod, which was a high-end item he bought in the imperial capital, but he never had time to try it.

Char also invited Semer and Sebas, two of his few friends in the plane.

But as you can imagine, only Semele came.

It's time of war, and Sebas doesn't have time to come.

Each of them fished together with a fishing rod by the big lake.

In the middle of them was a wooden box with some ice cubes, which had been brought out of the ice cellar.

A few bottles of wine were placed on the ice, waiting for the barbecue to be roasted, and these bottles of wine were probably also chilled.

While drinking wine, eating barbecue, blowing the sea breeze, and watching the rippling waters of the lake, no matter how much sorrow there is in your heart, it will disappear at this moment.

Char stared at the calm float, feeling that it was a bit boring to wait like this, so he looked at Semer, "How about we compare who catches the fish first?" ”

"Of course." "But are you sure you want to compare?" ”

He raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm a god." ”

"The rule of the game is that no one is allowed to use magic or divine powers." Char said, "That would kill the fun of fishing." ”

"No problem!"

"Alicia."

Char rolled up her sleeves and said confidently to Alicia, who was sitting on the tablecloth and watching the barbecue.

"Watch me catch a big white fish for you, and eat the grilled fish later!"

"So confident?" Seymler grinned.

He stared at the float on the surface of the lake, his eyes flickering.

"God doesn't lose to man."

An hour later

Char was still sitting in the small chair, staring at Semele, who didn't know when he would move to the opposite side, looking at the calm and waveless lake.

The barrel in which the fish was placed on either side of the two was empty

"There can't be no fish in this lake, right?" Char muttered depressedly.

Isabel and Arthur have finished their equestrian lessons, letting go of the reins and letting Luna run freely on the peninsula.

There is only one way out of the entire peninsula, and that road has been blocked by Char's magic, so there is no fear of Luna getting lost.

They sat on a tablecloth placed beside Char, eating bread and freshly roasted beef.

The beef in Sahili is tender and juicy, fat but not greasy in one bite, and it only needs to be sprinkled with a few simple seasonings to make it very delicious.

Hearing Char's muttering, Isabel couldn't help but laugh a little, "If it doesn't work, forget it, Arthur caught one a few days ago." ”

"It must be a location." Char muttered.

He was about to go to the other side of the lake with his fishing rod and bucket, but suddenly, the resistance from the fishing rod attracted Char's attention.

He immediately put down the bucket and began to manipulate the fishing rod, feeling the resistance transmitted on the fishing rod, Char shouted excitedly.

"Semeler, I seem to have taken the bait!"

Seymler opened his eyes to Charyana's gradually bent rod.

Char began to use his strength rhythmically, draining the fish's physical strength, but the fish's strength was obviously not small, and the rod was pressed into an astonishing arc.

In this era, there are obviously no man-made fiber rods, and most of them are made of some tough bamboo, but the quality is not as good as that of modern fishing rods.

But fortunately, the material for the fishing rod that Char bought was not bad, and he could clearly feel that the "fish" had gradually lost its strength and was moving in the direction he controlled.

He smug to Semmel.

"This must be a big fish."

Then, he began to use his strength, and some ripples began to appear on the calm water, and under the gaze of Alicia and the others, the hooked "big fish" finally surfaced and was caught in the air by the fishing rod.

Though it is covered with a lot of aquatic plants, if you look closely.

That should be one. Box?

The smile on Char's face shifted to Semmelle's face at the same time.

"Hahaha!!"

Seymler couldn't help but laugh and teased.

"You're a big fish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his fishing rod began to move.

He was even more excited, and hurriedly spun the reel, fiddled with the fishing rod, and began to wrestle with the "fish".

Soon, he felt that the strength of this "fish" was getting smaller and smaller, and he grinned the corners of his mouth and said proudly.

"Looks like I won!"

Suddenly, he seized the opportunity and slammed it hard, and the bite quickly surfaced.

Semmele's smile instantly froze on his face.

It was a branch wrapped around the aquatic weeds, which must have been blown into the lake by a strong wind.

"Pss!!ss

Char also clutched her stomach and laughed, louder than Semele.

"You're not much better than me!"

Seymler sighed helplessly, but then, he and Char looked at each other, and the two of them laughed together, very pleasantly.

They gave up fishing.

It took them more than an hour to prove one thing, without the blessing of magic and divine power, their fishing skills were not much better than those of ten-year-olds.

They sat around the cloth together, drinking wine, chatting, eating barbecue, and enjoying the passage of time without any scruples.

After a while, it seemed to be too comfortable, and Char felt a little sleepiness hit her.

Seeing that Alicia was kneeling on the cloth, he naturally lay down and pillowed on her lap.

Alicia didn't feel uncomfortable, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she gently pulled Char's hair behind her ears.

She could sense that Char was in a good mood today.

And Char's mood is good, and her mood will be good together.

"Do you still eat fish tonight?" Alicia touched Char's hair and said softly.

Char exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, his eyes closed tightly, and he said, "Eat, I haven't eaten for a long time anyway, go buy one directly." ”

Alicia smiled, she looked at Char's ear, and said on a whim, "How about I help you pluck your ears?" ”

Char opened her eyes a little puzzled, and saw Alicia raising the wooden ear spoon in her hand.

"It's very comfortable, my mother used to help my father pluck his ears, and it would make people feel more relaxed."

"Then try it."

Char replied, then turned in a different direction, turning one ear upwards.

She first stroked his face with her hair, he felt his brow slowly relax, and after observing the structure of his ears, Alicia began to help Char clean his ears with an ear spoon.

The nerves inside the ears are very sensitive, so the slightest touch will feel very itchy, Alicia's movements are very light, some are afraid of hurting themselves, the fresh air is mixed with the faint fragrance of Alicia's body, Char feels that the whole person is crispy and numb.

It was as if he was wandering in the clouds without any burden, and this sense of relaxation made him feel a little sleepy, and his eyelids were a little unsupportable, and they slowly closed.

Semmele looked at this scene and smiled helplessly and sighed lightly.

He sat down on the edge of the lake, picked up the fishing rod, hung a little bait on the hook, threw the hook into the lake again, and took a big gulp of the chilled wine on one side.

Arthur picked up a napkin on one side and wiped his mouth, then curiously walked to the box that Char had fished, and squatted down to observe it carefully.

"Don't touch that thing, Arthur, it's dirty." Isabel walked over from one side.

But she was soon attracted to the box, which was covered with aquatic plants, but it looked very intact overall.

Looking at the number of aquatic plants on it, it should have been soaked for a few years, and after soaking for so long, the average wood has rotted.

But even the original pattern of this wood can be seen, and it should be made of some more expensive wood.

And the boxes containing things are made of such precious wood, what will be inside?

A hint of curiosity arose in Isabel's heart and said to Arthur.

"Open it and take a look."

Cassifer was also drawn over, and flew up from the fire pit on the ground and flew to Isabel's side.

"Is this wooden box that Char caught a good thing?"

"The box is good stuff." Isabel said, "It looks old, and it's old, and the materials alone are worth a lot of money, but I'm more curious about what's inside." ”

Hearing this, Arthur also became a little curious, he stretched out his hand to endure the nausea to clean up the aquatic plants on it, the box is locked, but for Arthur now, this lock is no different from nothing.

Easily pick the lock and slowly open the wooden box.

What is amazing is that although it has been soaked for so long, there is no water inside the wooden box at all, and the degree of sealing is amazing.

Inside are several quaint pieces of parchment with patterns drawn on them.

Arthur frowned slightly, and Isabel also nimbly jumped onto Arthur's shoulder and looked at the patterns carefully.

She muttered softly.

"It seems to be. A map? ”

It's really uncomfortable not to save the manuscript, and there is no one to review it

I used to save the manuscript when I occasionally looked at it.,A chapter may be changed three or four times or even five or six times.,Every time you read it, you can have a new feeling.,Now I haven't saved the manuscript.,I always feel almost funny when I write something.,Look back at it.,There are some problems with the rhythm in some places.

For example, yesterday's historical torrent, now there is no need to add it to the last desireless and wanted, just send it according to the original.

The original version of the chapter actually didn't have that paragraph, because some of the previous comments temporarily added a description of the protagonist's state of mind.

After adding that paragraph, I always feel like it's dragged on a lot, and it's a little embarrassing.

But there is a big difference between changing it when it comes out and changing it when it doesn't.

But I'm already working hard to save up the manuscript, and I'll open a copy of this chapter after it is sent every day, and there may be more tomorrow.
