Chapter 102, Happy Winter Veil! (Down)
"Good friend! I'm coming!" When the blond Alfred, wearing a pure white ceremonial suit, opened the gate of No. 53 Amber Avenue, Ryan gave him a warm hug: "Winter Veil Happy Holidays! Ah Fu!"
"Happy Winter Veil!" Alfred laughed, and he also gave Ryan a big hug, and then punched him in the chest: "Good friend! Look at what you've done" , I'm going to be annoyed to death recently!"
"Come here! Come in and sit down!" Ryan took Alfred to sit down.
Ryan's home has completely changed. With the hard work of Ryan and Emilia, colorful ribbons and stickers have decorated the luxurious living room. A fir tree is placed in the middle of the living room, and the fir tree is covered with fresh Flowers', cookies, candles, balls, candies, ribbons and paper chains, and many presents under the tree.
The two sat down in the living room, and Ryan made a cup of coffee for Alfred: "What's the matter, Fu? What bothers you so much?"
The handsome blond guy took it carelessly, took a big sip, pointed at Ryan and laughed and said, "Okay, it's all caused by you kid, and you're still pretending to be stupid now? It's a matter of the Aesthetic Society! The Aesthetic Society!"
"Hahaha! I kill two birds with one stone." Ryan also kept laughing.
The Justice Church was used by him to destroy the Aesthetic Society, but the righteous paladin was also happy to be able to eradicate this Chaos sect, especially for compensation, the Justice Church received a lot of health from the Ocean Church The quality of the orphans in the Orphanage of the Beauty Society Orphanage is very good, and the Marienburg House secretly stuffed a sum of money, and the Justice Church no longer cares about being used.
So sometimes these lawful and kind paladins are good people in the true sense. Even if they know that they have been used, if the process is to eliminate evil and purify **, sometimes they will not care about it and will be fair. And spreading justice to every corner of this world is their goal.
"It's still a while before we eat, let's take a bath first, and talk about it slowly." Ryan has already 'made' the bath water, and Alfred has no objections at all.
So the two men walked shoulder to shoulder and went to the bathroom together.
The steaming bath water has already filled the bathtub, the dense mist permeates the bathroom, and the heavy snow is flying outside. Alfred has toned muscles, and Ryan's muscles are full of streamlined body. Aesthetically, two muscular men submerge themselves in hot water one after the other.
"Wow~" Alfred let out a strange cry: "It's so cool! Taking a nice bath in this kind of winter, and then having a big turkey meal, this may be the paradise that my lord said Bar?"
"Your standard for heaven is really low, Ah Fu." Ryan dipped himself into the bath, and said happily: "It seems to be back to when we were young, when we were young, the two little kids often took baths together."
"Yeah, now think about what happened when I was a child, a big wooden barrel, the two of us squeezed in it, it's like a dream." Alfred was a little emotional, he looked at Ryan thoughtfully, and then looked at Looking at himself, he suddenly scooped up some hot water and splashed it on Ryan's face: "Look at this! Haha~"
"Hey, you bastard!" Ryan also reached out to scoop up hot water and splashed it on Alfred's face.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha~!"
The two men played for a while before stopping.
"So what have you been up to these days?" Ryan touched the water drops on his face and asked casually, "I haven't been able to find you recently."
"I joined the Underground Expeditionary Army." Alfred shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed face: "Although the nobles here in Marienburg are annoying, I have to say that their prices are very fair.
We played several consecutive games in the deep mining area and killed many ratmen and monsters, especially there are many vampire bats and undead in the deep mining area. Paladins are best at dealing with this. "
The battle of the Underground Expeditionary Army has ended, and the elimination of many ratmen and undead creatures can be regarded as some gains.
"Okay~" Ryan rolled his eyes, and he changed his posture: "I've also been doing something else recently."
There is a characteristic of paladins. This group of people is not completely out of production. Many paladins will do other things at the same time, such as blacksmithing, tailoring, and farming. They will also try to take quests to obtain income.
"Other things?" Alfred seemed to think of something, he hesitated, and then said: "Recently, several wealthy businessmen and nobles suddenly died suddenly in the city, but the Marienburg House seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, I went to check At the scene, I found..."
"I did it." Ryan was straightforward, he said with a sneer, "As the guardian of Fort Marien, I have to do something serious."
"Can you tell me the reason?" Alfred believed that Ryan would not kill people 'indiscriminately', but he still wanted to know the reason.
"They are all vampires." Ryan said lightly: "The vampires lurking in Marienburg, these vampires are more difficult to deal with, so I just let them disappear."
"Is there no way to have a public trial?" Alfred expressed his understanding.
The vampires that can successfully hide in human society are all advanced vampires. These creatures already have a strong concealment ability, and they are difficult to kill, but it is not a problem for Ryan. One sword, one vampire in this world can block the goddess of revenge, but it is definitely not those of Marienburg.
The vampire factions are actually divided into extremists and moderates. The extremists need no explanation, and most moderate vampires actually live a life of seclusion and wealth.
But this makes no difference to Ryan, no matter what kind of vampire it is, killing it is always right.
A dead vampire is a harmless vampire.
Alfred thought that Ryan was really ruthless, but the paladin didn't have any opinion about it, he just sighed a little: "Speaking of which, Ryan, I have been pulled away by you, you are now a famous human being in the mainland Hero, champions of Chaos have fallen at your hands one after another, and I am only a Templar."
"But your path is correct. The paladin is a slow-growing profession, Ah Fu, don't be discouraged." Ryan knew that Alfred was not discouraged, he was really a different kind.
Compared with his brother, he has grown slowly.
"Hey hey~" Alfred is an optimistic guy.
The two soaked in the bath for a while, and then got up.
"Huh~ So cool~"
"Ah~ I really want to drink beer soon~"
“Beer Beer!”
"Is the wine hot?" Alfred wiped his blond hair with a towel.
"Don't worry! It's ready! It's super cold."
"Hey! Do you drink cold beer at Winter Veil?"
"Hahahaha~"
When the two of them came to the dining room, Emilia had already prepared a big turkey meal.
Regarding the dinner of the Winter Veil Festival, the most indispensable thing is the roasted chicken. A rich and delicious roasted chicken takes half a day to make. Put the stuffed stuffed chicken into the The oven is baked for about 3-6 hours depending on the weight. After the juice comes out, it must be opened at regular intervals to absorb the fat and reapply it on the surface of the roasted chicken. Since returning home in the afternoon, Emilia and Ryan It took almost half a day to prepare the grand dinner for the Winter Veil Festival.
In addition to turkey, a qualified turkey meal also includes roasted bacon, roasted potatoes, roasted sausages, as well as various side dishes and fruits, in addition to appetizers and cocktails , sweet beer and red wine champagne are essential.
"Emilia, sit down and eat with us!" Ryan held a roasted 'chicken' 'leg' in his hand, and motioned for Emilia to enjoy it together: "Anyway, there are three people in the family."
"Thank you, Mr. Ryan!" Seeing Ryan's sincere attitude, Emilia also sat next to Ryan.
So in the snow and winter night, the three of them enjoyed the most beautiful turkey dinner.
Ryan had an amazing appetite, and he packed most of the remaining turkey by himself. After eating, Ryan and Alfred chatted about recent events: "Speaking of it, what happened to Brittania recently?" trend?"
"Knight King Richard announced a new war of chivalry. This time, the goal is to eliminate the threat of bandits and beastmen in the territory." Alfred nodded, and the two chatted about recent events. Litania, there are some things to know in advance.
Since the Tower of Dole incident, the national power of Brittany has begun to decline. The dukes lost trust with each other because of the civil war and began to go their own way. The king is still the nominal leader of the country, but he is no longer able to do whatever he wants. In this case, various forces began to infiltrate Britannia.
In the north of the Knight Kingdom, due to the strength of the New Empire and the active defense of Nord, the northern barbarians had difficulty finding enough opportunities, so Brittania, which was beginning to decline, became a better target for them to plunder. From the Principality of Nete and the Principality of Lioness to the famous port in the west, the Principality of Poldero, the frequent attacks of the northern barbarians exhausted the knights of the Knight Kingdom, not to mention the dark elves' pirate fleet.
In the Ministry of the country, the Ardennes forest is rampant with beastmen, and the tribe of beastmen that had been thoroughly cleaned up reappeared. Although most of the beastmen were just doing small things and looting their homes, the Kingdom of Knights regularly sent troops to wipe them out every year.
The Duke of Connaught is the world of the undead. The Blood Red Duke declared that he is the legal heir of the Duke of Connaught and peeped at the throne, provoking one war after another.
In the south of the country, invaders from the southern countries have been spying on and coveting the wealth of the Knight Kingdom. The Kingdom of Estalia fought several wars with Duke Theodoric of Berleon. The invaders were driven out entirely, while the other dukes stood by.
Falcade, Duke of Monteverl, guarded the axe pass, and he had to face an almost endless army of greenskins.
"The only ones that are truly peaceful and peaceful are the Duchy of Wenford and the Duchy of Bastogne, which are located in the interior." Alfred concluded that he already understood Ryan's future path: "So, you boy Heading to Brittania soon?"
"Yes." Ryan nodded: "After the Grass Festival."
The two chatted for a long time, and Alfred offered to leave: "I have to attend the night vigil of the Justice Church tonight, so I will leave."
The Justice Church has to hold a vigil on this day of Winter Veil, and it is not easy for Ryan to keep him when he sees this.
So Ryan and Emilia were left in the house. After the little maid cleaned up, Ryan noticed that she was a little tired: "Go and rest when you're tired!"
"No, I'm just a little tired, and I don't feel sleepy." Emilia thought for a while, and the little maid seemed to become a little bolder: "So, Mr. Lane, you will go to Britannia to become the lord ?”
"What? Don't you like it?" Ryan motioned Emilia to sit beside him, and said softly, "If you don't want to go to Brittania with me, you can stay here, or you can leave."
Emilia, who was a mercenary before, was not only good at housework, but also a good cook. After living together for a period of time, the distance between the girl and him gradually narrowed.
Who knew that Emilia shook her head vigorously, her face blushing: "No, no, no! Mr. Ryan, going to Britannia is very good! I will definitely go with you."
Seeing this, Ryan had many thoughts in his mind.
Would it be nice to go to Brittania?
Strange, logically speaking, the empire is the most powerful country on the entire continent, and the best choice should be to go to the empire, but Ryan knows that the problem with the empire is that there is no place for him to develop, and every part of the vast land There are rulers, the emperor's throne is a candidate election system, and the elector's title is hereditary. In this case, Ryan basically does not have much room to climb.
Unlike the Kingdom of Knights, nobles at the lower level are very mobile.
But Emilia shouldn't think about this. As the most powerful country in the empire, shouldn't she most want Ryan to go to the empire?
"Well, when the invitation comes, you can go to Britannia with me." Ryan nodded, and Emilia nodded again and again, staying by Ryan's side, she always felt safe.
"Tomorrow there will be a grand auction in the slave market, let's go and have a look! It's too hard for you to clean the whole house by yourself. I'll see if there are any suitable maids and buy one or two. Come back." Seeing Emilia's forehead sweat profusely, Ryan made up his mind.
Emilia knew that Ryan had made up his mind, so she stopped talking.
So early the next morning, Emilia changed into a dark blue woolen coat, a small white women's shirt and a black scarf, and under the coat was a dark blue tube skirt and high-heeled long skirt. boots, and followed Ryan towards the edge of the temple university area and the adjoining place of the port dock area.
There is a big market famous all over the world.
Marienburg mainland talent market.
"Let's buy you a helper today!", the talent market was crowded with people, Ryan signaled the little maid to follow him closely and not to get separated.
Emilia pulled the hem of his clothes and followed closely. The girl looked around anxiously.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you." Sure enough, the more people there are, the less safe Emilia feels. Ryan protects her by his side while listening to passers-by talking loudly about today's auction meeting.
"What's going on in today's auction! It seems that people from several major chambers of commerce are here!"
"Not only that, many members of the House of Representatives and the House of Commons have also come!"
"So what exactly attracted them?"
"My father's brother's aunt's nephew's son is working in the auction, I'll tell you secretly, don't tell anyone!"
"Speak quickly!"
"There are dark elves in today's auction!"
"Dark elves?!"
