The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 71: Celebrating the Sea Festival
Before dawn, Carter Butler's voice kept appearing upstairs and downstairs in the castle.
“Tom, cheer up! ”
“Thomas, get ready for Lord's holiday outfit, Frak Abier, and don't make a mistake! ”
“Mrs. Morson, the windows on the second floor are dusty, so the maid can wipe it clean as soon as possible, and we can't leave a lazy impression on the upcoming VIP. ”
“Oh, my God, why is the kitchen taking oysters out to sun, take them away... No, no, Irene, definitely not today! ”
“I need to see the water spill out of the castle tank, but Jesse, you don't have to pick the water, John and Parker to do it. You need to visit all the wormgrass quickly, even on holidays, we can't ignore the most important things! ”
“Don't move the whole thing out to get some sun, you should break it, it's easier to get some ice in pieces.” Carter pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his head. He was really busy today, and he had a lot of precious crystal utensils that he hadn't wiped off, but had to explain the trivial things first.
Watching Jim, the new maid who arrived shortly after the castle, worked hard to move yesterday's ice tank into the sun.
He couldn't bear to tell each other, he had to use his brain.
Jim was tall and smart, but inexperienced, listening to Carter, he couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, I didn't think of that, I'm going to smash the ice into a few buckets and basins right now. ”
“Don't spill it, it's filled with... nitrous stones, the master specifically told you, they are precious. ”
“Rest assured, Mr. Carter. ”
After a tour around the castle, Carter went up to the second floor and saw Thomas enter Lester's bedroom with Flack Abier.
He also went in with a knock.
“Master, you woke up early today. ”
Lester, with the help of Thomas, wore his own nasty clothes, as well as that particularly distressing rounded crest collar "Ralph”.
It's not good to be in the mood for a moment: “There's so much movement in the castle, I want to fall asleep, it's a little difficult. ”
Carterton was in arrears, and his expression was a little uneasy: "Sorry, it was a mistake at work that caused you to quarrel. ”
Lester was just a little awake, but when he saw Carter apologize, his anger faded quickly, and he shouldn't have let the old man loyal to himself take on this little implication: “This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Carter, don't blame yourself. It's Seafares and I have to get up early. ”
Carter relieved.
Thomas glanced a little disappointed - he looked forward to seeing the master blaming the butler.
Get dressed, Lester had a brief breakfast, rode on the Fire Dragon Horse, and prepared to tour the town - today is a festival, and even if only the nobles celebrate, they still have to enjoy the people and enjoy the support and compliments of the colonists.
By this time, he had seen Gorte, also dressed in a costume.
And Marcus, Blair and Isaiah, dressed in more solemn costumes, the three of whom are not yet nobles with titles.
“Lord Baron, Gorte extends his festive greetings to you. ”
“My lord, Marcus sends you his holiday greetings. ”
“Lord Baron, Isaiah offers you his holiday greetings. ”
“Lord Baron, Blair extends his festive greetings to you. ”
The Four greeted Lester in turn and meticulously extended their noble etiquette.
Lester likewise responded with a noble courtesy: “Happy holidays. ”
This was followed by four of his valet knights and twelve valet knights, saluting each other and offering their holiday greetings. Finally, the servants of the castle let go of their work and, led by Carter, offered their holiday greetings as well.
When he toured the town with Gaultai et al. and the knights.
All kinds of "Lord XXX sends you a holiday greeting" continue to come from the side of the road, free folk touching the ground on one knee and serfs touching the ground on both knees.
Noble power, in such ceremonies, is constantly consolidated and deeply entrenched.
When civilians are accustomed to kneeling, the very foundations of domination are unbreakable.
“Good news, sir.” During a tour of Tomato Tun, Lester met Jesse Tawny Water, the original butler's assistant, who has been promoted to a butler and receives two bronze plates a day's salary.
“Jesse, what's the good news? ”
“I just checked Tomato Bug Grass in Tomato Tun and found that Tomato Pokémon has been bred. ”
“Yeah, that's really good news.” Lester is delighted that the seventh elf bug in the castle has arrived. He brought the patrol directly to the tomato fields of John Flanner's house.
The tomato worm grass in the middle, obviously very tall with red and red tomatoes.
One of the little yellow flowers, a fat, red Pokémon bug, sun in the lazy ocean. John Blanche looked nervously at the Pokémon, and he was obliged to protect them for his lord, not to be hurt by anything, and not to be contracted by anyone.
Only a lord is eligible to contract a Pokémon.
Only those with the courage and magic to build a contract.
“My lord, John Flanner sends you his holiday greetings. ”
“Happy holiday, John. ”
Lester simply said hello and walked up to the tomato worm, sprinkling a little powder and attracting the tomato worm. Then you put a little jade powder on your finger, and you stick your finger out to the little guy. The fingertips of the pipe worked, the magic and the charm of the jade powder went hand in hand, and the tomato worm did not hesitate to bite.
A sense of soul connection flashed by, and the tomato worm had made a pact with Lester.
Gaultai looked at the tomato worm with envy and smiled: "Today is a celebratory day, and the tomato worm is like choosing to be conceived today, offering you a holiday greeting from Lester.” If he had a Pokémon in his enclosure, it might not have ended in bankruptcy.
“It's a smart elf bug, I can feel it.” Lister smiled, turning to John Flan, “John, the tomato field where the wormgrass is still being cultivated by you, remember not to hurt the wormgrass, which is the most important thing in the tomato tunnel. ”
“Don't worry, my lord, John is willing to give his life to protect it! ”
He was very excited when he spoke, close to the wormgrass tomato fields, all high-yielding, high-quality tomatoes, which was equivalent to saying that he could leave enough tomatoes after paying taxes. For him, a wealthy life began with Lester rewarding a Nerda, and had begun to take off.
“It will get better and better in the future. ”
“I will grow tomatoes for my lords all my life! ”
He watched the patrol team go away and looked at the noble and inviolable shadow. He couldn't help but be excited: “May the glory of the knight always be in love with the Lord. ”
