Chapter 71: The festive atmosphere of the sea festival

Views:

Before dawn, the voice of Butler Carter kept appearing upstairs and downstairs in the castle.

"Tom, cheer up!"

"Thomas, get your master's festive costume, Flacque Abier, ready, and make no mistake!"

"Mrs. Mawson, the windows on the second floor are dusty. Let the maid clean it up as soon as possible. We can't give the impression of laziness to the coming distinguished guests."

"Oh my God, why does the kitchen bring out the oysters to dry, take them away quickly... No, no, no, Irene, absolutely not today!"

"I need to see the water in the castle tank overflowing, but Jesse, you don't have to fetch water, John and Parker will do it. You need to hurry up and check all the caterpillars, even if it's a holiday, we can't ignore the most important thing s things!"

"Don't take the whole thing out to dry. You should break it up. Pieces of crushed ice are easier to dry." Carter took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his brow. Today is really busy, and he still has a lot of precious crystals The tableware was not wiped, but I had to explain the trivial things first.

Watching the new servant Jim who came to the castle not long ago, he moved the water tank made of ice yesterday to the sun with great difficulty.

He couldn't help telling the other party that he had to use his brain.

Jim is tall and smart, but he has little experience. When he heard Carter's words, he couldn't stop apologizing: "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, I didn't think of this. I'll break the ice cubes and put them in a few In buckets and basins."

"Don't spill it, it's full of... saltpeter, the master specifically ordered them, they are very valuable."

"Don't worry, Mr. Carter."

Looking around the castle, Carter went up to the second floor, just in time to see Thomas holding Flack Abie and entering Liszt's bedroom.

He also knocked on the door and went in.

"Master, you woke up very early today."

With the help of Thomas, Liszt put on the clothes he hated, as well as the particularly uncomfortable disc ruffle collar "raff".

The mood was not very good for a moment: "There is so much movement in the castle, I want to fall asleep, it is a bit difficult."

Carter immediately leaned over, with a disturbed expression on his face: "Sorry, it was my mistake at work, which disturbed you, Master."

Liszt was just a little bit annoyed when he got up, but when he saw Carter apologizing, his a little bit of anger quickly subsided, and he shouldn't let this loyal old man bear this little involvement: "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Carter , don't blame yourself. Today is the sea festival, I have to get up early."

Carter breathed a sigh of relief.

Thomas squinted, a little disappointed - he was looking forward to seeing the master blame the housekeeper.

After getting dressed, Liszt had a simple breakfast, then rode on the fire dragon horse, and prepared to patrol around the town—today is a holiday, even if only the nobles will celebrate, they still have to have fun with the people and enjoy the support and support of the people. compliment.

At this moment, he had already seen Gao Ertai who was also dressed in a costume.

As well as Marcus, Blair, and Isaiah who wore more grand attire, the three of them are not nobles with titles.

"Lord Baron, Galtai sends you his holiday greetings."

"My lord, Marcus sends you his holiday greetings."

"My lord, Isaiah sends you holiday greetings."

"My lord, Blair sends you his holiday greetings."

The four greeted Liszt one by one, and performed the noble etiquette meticulously.

Liszt also responded with aristocratic etiquette: "Happy holidays."

Then his four subordinate knights and twelve quasi-subordinate knights stepped forward to salute and offer their holiday greetings. Finally, the servants in the castle put down their work one after another, and under the leadership of Carter, they also offered their holiday greetings.

When he took Gao Ertai and others, and the retinue knights, to inspect the small town.

On both sides of the road, various phrases of "My lord, XXX sends you holiday greetings" were constantly heard, the free people touched the ground with one knee, and the serfs touched the ground with their knees.

The authority of the nobility is continuously strengthened and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in such etiquette.

When common people are used to kneeling, the foundation of rule will be unbreakable.

"Master, good news." While inspecting Tomato Village, Liszt met Jesse Taomishui, the former valet assistant, who has been promoted to a valet and can receive 2 copper coins a day's salary.

"Jesse, what's the good news?"

"I checked the tomato caterpillar fungus in Tomato Tun just now, and found that the tomato elf worms have been bred."

"Really, this is indeed good news." Liszt was very happy that the seventh elf worm in the castle had arrived. He directly led the inspection team to the tomato field of John Biandan's house.

The tomato Cordyceps in the middle is obviously very tall, bearing red tomatoes.

On one of the small yellow flowers, a plump elf worm covered in red was lazily basking in the sun. John Pole looked at the elf worm nervously. He was obliged to protect the elf worm for the lord, not to be harmed by anything, and not to be contracted by anyone.

Only lords are eligible to contract elf worms.

Only those who possess fighting spirit and magic can establish a contract.

"My lord, John Pole sends you holiday greetings."

"Happy holidays, John."

Liszt simply said hello, walked up to the tomato worm, and sprinkled a little jade powder to attract the tomato worm. Then he put a little jade powder on his fingers, and stretched out his fingers at the little guy. The fingertips were fighting, and the magic power and the charm of the jade powder were displayed together, and the tomato bug opened its mouth without hesitation.

The feeling of telepathy flashed by, and the tomato bug had established a contract with Liszt.

Gao Ertai looked at the tomato worm enviously, and said with a smile: "Today is really a festive day. The tomato worm seems to have chosen to be conceived today, and I would like to offer my festive greetings to Liszt." The elf worm, maybe it won't end in bankruptcy.

"It's a smart elf worm, I can feel it." Liszt smiled, turned to John Biandan, "John, the tomato field where the Cordyceps is located is still cultivated by you, remember not to hurt the Cordyceps, it is a tomato Tun's most important existence."

"Lord, please rest assured, John is willing to sacrifice his life to protect it!"

He was very excited when he spoke. The tomato fields near Cordyceps are all high-yield and high-quality tomatoes, which means that he can keep enough tomatoes after paying taxes. For him, a wealthy life began to take off when Liszt rewarded him with a Narda.

"It will get better and better in the future."

"I want to grow tomatoes for the lord for the rest of my life!"

He watched the patrol team go away, stared at the noble and inviolable back, and couldn't help but feel excited: "May the glory of the knight always be attached to the lord."
