Pedi turned his head to look at the old nobleman in front of him, at his legs and body that were constantly shaking because of his uncoordinated body.

After the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, Pedi pointed to the blanket-covered area next to him, "I'm tired of looking at you like this, come and sit." ”

Temple-Bob breathed a sigh of relief as he walked towards the king with small steps in accordance with the oldest aristocratic etiquette, but the unevenness of the grass was not at all suitable for such a manner. Half a day later, when he walked up to the king, his forehead was already covered with sweat.

"Give Viscount Bob a glass of ale. Pedi did not stop the other party's etiquette, he waited quietly for the old nobleman to sit down, and raised the wine bag in his hand, "I am used to drinking like this, and I like ale. ”

"When I was young, I traveled with my family caravan to most of the empire, and at that time ale was my favorite, especially highland ale, but at that time the family business was not rich, and I could only deal with inferior ale, and highland ale was just a luxury for me for a long time. While the king was looking away, Dempto-Bob quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuffs, and drank it dry as soon as a glass of ale was placed in front of him.

"Delicious highland ale, I almost forgot what it tasted like. Temple-Bob smiled wryly, "I shouldn't forget the smell of it." He seemed to mean something.

"Forgetfulness is the essence of human nature. Pedi smiled at the returning Willie Jon and gestured, "Our hero is back. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Demp Tuo beside him, "The bonfire banquet in the next few days will definitely make us unforgettable." ”

"All the splendor of this region today is due to you, Your Majesty. Temple-Bob complimented.

"Haha!" Pedi laughed happily, and although he knew that Temple-Bob was complimenting, he wasn't wrong about compliment, because he now ruled Suker Plains.

Temple-Bob looked at the laughing king and subconsciously wanted to say what was in his heart, but several times he swallowed it back into his stomach.

"You didn't come up to compliment me. Pedi took the cigar from the servant, "I don't like to go around, you can tell me your business directly." He ordered a cigar and asked his servant to hand one to Temple.

"There are indeed some things. "Temple-Bob took the cigar," something about Napros City. He spoke unusually carefully, "Your Majesty, the major chambers of commerce in the Suke Plains have spent almost all of their assets to build Napros City, and now..."

"The city of Napros will be incorporated into the circle of rule of the Kingdom of Kruria, and we will set up a special government in the city. Pedi interrupted Temple-Bob, "That's the premise. ”

"Of course!" Dempto-Bob nodded solemnly, "The people of the plains of Suke City agree with your rule, and we will do everything in our power to maintain your rule. ”

"In that case... What other questions do you have?"

"The city council has previously promised us commercial rights in Napros City, as well as access to large horse farms and land in the vicinity of Napros City. "If the major chambers of commerce in the Suke Plains lose these privileges, nearly half of them will go bankrupt in the next six months, because they will not be able to continue to borrow money to maintain the city building. ”

"I had a late discussion with Sir Derick Denny about this last night. Pedy looked at Temple-Bob's cautious look and didn't give him any more appetite, "The City Council has promised you that all Kingdom governments will recognize your rights except for the establishment of a city government. ”

The sad expression on Dempto-Bob's face slowly unfolded as the king's words slowly unfolded, and when the king finished his last sentence, his face was full of joy and could not be suppressed, "You are the greatest king in this universe. ”

"Your compliment is a bit exaggerated. Although Pei Di's words were very modest, there was also a smug smile on his face, but his smile was followed by a serious warning: "But your business activities must be within the scope of the laws of the kingdom, otherwise what awaits you will be a merciless attack from the police and the tax office." ”

"Of course, we've always only been doing legitimate business. Temple-Bob assured.

"Don't rush to assure you, I think you should know more about the laws of the Kingdom, and I suggest that you hire a bachelor who specializes in the laws of the Kingdom as a consultant, otherwise you will be frequented by the police and the tax office. ”

"Since I went back, I have assembled a dedicated team of legal advisers. Temple-Bob solemnly stated.

"Good. Pedi said two softly and then lay down slowly, the sun's rays were very mild near the evening, which allowed him to lie down and stare at the blue sky, looking at the layers of white clouds that floated by from time to time in a daze.

When Dempto-Bob saw the king's appearance, he closed his mouth regretfully and slowly retreated.

"Is Fort Norma's army still stationed in Napros?" asked Pedi as Dempto-Bob stepped back to stand with the squires, and then he smoked his cigar greedily.

"Yes. Temple-Bob's eyelids jumped.

"Find a way to get them to leave. Pety's casual tone was irresistible.

"Yes!" Dempto-Bob's mouth curled, but he still took the order.

After hearing Dempto-Bob's accurate reply, Pedi exhaled comfortably and handed the half-smoked cigar in his hand to the nearby King's attendants, ending the brief conversation with Dempto-Bob. After that, there was silence on the hillside, but Temple-Bob did not dare to retreat, he stood by like a squire.

The breeze was still there, the faint fragrance of grass and wildflowers surrounded the tip of his nose, and Pedi squinted his eyes to enjoy the rare tranquility, and when the sleepiness could not be stopped, he whispered to the knight, "I need to rest for half an hour." ”

In this green meadow, the sun hanging high in the sky is no longer irritable at noon, leaving only warmth. As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt a strong exhaustion rush over his body, and then fell into a deep sleep.

It was a comfortable afternoon sleep, sleeping naturally and waking up naturally.

Unconsciously, the charming sunset with the evening sprinkled all over the earth, the distant jungle reflected a little golden light between the breeze, and the vast grass was also embellished with delicate colors by the sunset.

"It's a gift from the gods. When this heart-warming sight appeared in Pedy's crimson eyes, he complimented from the bottom of his heart.

"Praise be to the gods, you are awake at last. Andy Barrett's voice came from far and near, "My dear cousin, we're here to hunt, and you're actually sleeping here." He approached and looked left and right, "Where's your prey?"

"A whole wild deer. Pedi quickly stood up and turned to look at his cousin, pointing to the carcass of a wild deer on the back of a war horse in the distance, "That's my trophy." As he spoke, the attendants fenced off the area, and Rory Greda immediately stepped forward to help him get his meter in order.

Pedi was about to refuse, but he shook his head with a wry smile when he noticed the generals and nobles gathered outside the rear cordon. These men actually arrived before Andy Barrett, but they didn't dare to step forward without the consent of the Kings' Guard, as Andy Barrett did.

After tidying up his appearance, Pedi and his cousin walked side by side towards the generals and nobles gathered in the distance.

"Your Majesty!" Under the afterglow of the setting sun, nearly 100 people saluted at the same time.

A pleasant smile unconsciously appeared on Pedy's face, "I saw your prey, and it looks like we're going to have a nice bonfire tonight." ”

"It's all because of your brilliance, Your Majesty. Mondstadt Jean said the same thing as Dempto Bob just now, and his words immediately resonated with most of the nobles around him.

"Haha!" Pedi laughed with his chest puffed up, and the smiles on the faces of the nobles around him were also unhesitating.

"The place is nice, I don't think we need to go back to camp for our bonfire tonight. Andy Barrett didn't join in the compliments, he held up his goggles and looked around, "I love this place." ”

"You think the same as I do. Without asking for the advice of the others, Pedi instructed the servant, "Set up camp here, and we're going to party here all night tonight." ”

...

Under the endless starry sky, in the middle of the vast meadow in the middle of the original imperial royal hunting ground outside Suker City.

With the help of more than a dozen magicians and nearly a thousand laborers, a simple camp was erected in just half an hour, and countless torches and bonfires lit up a large area as bright as day.

Above the Giant Bear Banner, the young king sat casually on a thick throne, countless nobles and generals lined up to his left and right, behind them was the heavily armed King's Guard, and farther away was a corps of soldiers of the First Army.

Directly in front of the throne was a wide field, and next to the exuberant campfire, two knights were engaged in the most primitive sword duel with wooden swords, and the surrounding nobles were taking advantage of the opportunity to play the game and curse at the generals who were on the left side of the fire.

Farther away, beside the campfire, shirtless soldiers expertly unraveling their prey, Willie Jon, who acted as the makeshift head chef, stripped down to a short and sweating his secret barbecue sauce.

After the defeat of one knight, with a burst of excited shouts and curses, two more knights immediately put on their dueling equipment and came to the field with wooden swords, and the nobleman who had just lost the game immediately forgot about the previous defeat and joined a new round of gambling.

"Well, hunting is much more fun than feasting. Andy Barrett didn't join the gamble, he sat by his cousin's side all night, "You have to hold a party like this, to completely change the way of life of the nobles of Suk City, to make them forget about hypocritical interests and rigid dogmas. ”

"Is that what you're here for?" Peddy glanced at the aristocrats who were arguing like the ladies of the morning market, and met Andy Barrett's eyes.

"Pretty good, isn't it?" Andy grinned, "It's much better than when you're in the office or at a banquet and looking at their fake faces, right?"

"At least it's not that annoying. Pedi laughed along.

"I love hunts like this, and I like campfires like this even more. Mondstadt Jean also came over at this time, and as soon as he sat down at the head of Andy Barrett, "The Jean family never held such an event, and I remember the party just listening to the organ and holding the red wine to the hidden fruit. ”

"You don't look like the Jean family at all. Andy turned his head to look at Mondstadt-Jean, unscrupulously scrutinizing the other man's beard and cropped hair, "If it weren't for your silver hair, you'd be more like a Highlander than I am." ”

"I like to dress up like that. Mondstadt-Jean shrugged, "I hate the rules of the Jeans, I like the feeling of freedom, I like everything bold and grandiose, I hate being subtle and subtle. ”

"Maybe the two of us can be friends. On the other side, the orc prince Ribalo raised his glass and Mondstadt-Jean collided in mid-air.

"We're friends now. Mondstadt-Jean also drank from the glass he held in his hand.

"Let's drink this cup for friendship. Pedi interjected appropriately, then stood up and looked at the nobles and generals who had suddenly stopped all their movements and looked at him, raising their glasses, "For our friendship to last forever." With that, he drank with a headache.

"For our friendship!" said countless people raised their glasses at the same time, and then drank with the king.

"Isn't the barbecue all right?" said Petdy, who was already in his third glass of wine, and his stomach was shaking and he was craving for some meat.

"It's early!" Andy Barrett glanced at Willie Jon not far away, who had just racked the sauced game on the grill.

Pedi was suddenly hungry for some reason, and when he heard his cousin's answer, he subconsciously looked at the grill, and the bloodshot meat on it made him frown. Andy Barrett looked at his cousin and pointed to the pastry, "Your favorite pastry, Marjory's pastry shop has prepared it for you." ”

"These things are unpleasantly sweet to eat. Pedi shook her head.

When the Orc Prince Ribalo heard the conversation between the king and his brother, he immediately stood up and took two steps forward, "Your Majesty, you may be able to try the milk wine I brought. ”

"Oh?" said Peddy, who was interested, but frowned again, "I've heard from the goblin merchant that your milk wine has a heavy milky smell, and I hate that smell the most. ”

"This is true of ordinary milk wine, but I have brought with me the exclusive milk wine of the royal court, and in order to maintain the taste, we have even used some priest apprentices to bless it, and I promise that you will remember its mellow and milky aftertaste. Ribalo explained with a smile.
