The Defeated Dragon

The period leading up to dawn is the darkest moment of the day.

Flowertown, however, is brightly lit.

The clusters of fire and the crystal lights in the castle make the atmosphere extra vibrant.

“Thomas, get your moves up, the master is already washing and ironing the linen before 4 o'clock needs to be delivered to the master. ”

“Did you feed Shakespeare's food and water, Tom? Don't forget what the master told you to do. Take a shower for Shakespeare and brush his hair. ”

“Mrs. Morson, have the maids screened the dried milk powder? We have to pack the dried milk powder and ship it to the carriage as soon as possible. ”

“Barton, hurry up and feed all the horses you're marching. Don't delay the team's start. ”

Butler Carter keeps walking back and forth between the castle and the apple orchard, directing the servants of the entire castle to serve the team that is about to leave.

By the time Lister had washed and walked into the restaurant, Marcus, Parris and others had arrived and were waiting for breakfast in their seats.

Sit on the main seat and the butler immediately lays out the napkin.

He greeted everyone with a smile: "Good morning, everyone. ”

“Good morning, my lord! ”

Breakfast is extraordinarily rich, with crystal lamps and candle flames, the dishes are glamorous, comparable to a festive dinner, and even a lot of warcraft meat.

Cut a steak, have a sip of milk tea, and Lester said, "This is our last meal at the castle, and I need you guys to get to war quickly over the next few hours. Iron Shoe Island is four days from Coral Island, eight days back and forth, plus the battle to get on the island, we can't go back for at least half a month, are you ready? ”

“We are always looking forward to the battlefield, my lord. The knight's mission is to be born on the battlefield!” Marcus has been in a state of exhilaration for the past few days.

He participated in the war and, as an elite earth knight, had several experience with groundbreaking orders, but did nothing. But he was also a civilian with a tremendous passion for nobility, almost dreaming of battlefield success and promotion to nobility. Now, the opportunity is in front of him.

“Always look forward to going back to war and proving yourself!” Charles Trap's eyes are hot, "I'm not young anymore, these years are my last chance! ”

Lester's classmate, Rick Footprint, said, "Although this is the first time I've been on the battlefield, since I was a kid, my only goal in life has been war! ”

Griffin Griffin grinned: "My lord, Griffin I have always wanted to go to war and cut people! ”

David Big Yellow Face recently followed seriously: “I really didn't expect such a lucky opportunity, Flower Town is truly a place for knights to glory, I will fight for glory for adults! ”

After Marcus, the other knights also complained about their bloodbath.

Only Parisi worried about burying her head to eat and drink, without any indication that she was not a knight and had no pursuit of nobility.

Listening to the admiration of his followers, Lister also boiled with blood, rushed to finish his breakfast, wiped his mouth and stood up.

Having eaten and never eaten, the knights put down their knives and forks and stood up with them.

Lester looked around and wanted to say something to boost morale, but thought about it and thought it was too vulgar. And while at Tulip Chamberlain, as a watcher of the Count playing games while he was kissing his ass, he knew very well that the scenes were too frequent and had lost exciting significance.

And without his excitement, the knights are excited enough.

So, just say, “March! ”

Then he turned away from the restaurant, took the red sword from the butler and stepped out of the castle. The outer skies are still pitch-black, and the torches are scattered along Shakespeare Avenue, illuminating the walking path.

The knight brought the dragon horse, and he rolled over the horse.

The other knights, as well as Parisi, all rolled up on horseback, along with two carriages carrying supplies, and the squadron of Shakespeare, are ready to march.

Township officials and castle servants guard by Shakespeare Avenue for a salute. More residents of the town, too, get up early and wait on both sides of the main road, looking with envy and worship at this strong cavalier squad of stainless steel armor. There was no noise, but the atmosphere was already warm.

Lister didn't say the scene.

Slowly kick the belly of the dragon horse and lead the team forward slowly.

Behind him, Gaultai cried out, “May the knights glory and the lords return triumphantly! ”

Others followed: "May the knights glorify themselves and the lords return triumphantly. ”

It gradually converges into a wave of higher and higher cries.

Ring the whole town of flowers.

“May the knights glory and the lords return triumphantly! ”

Silver knights, riding horses faster and faster in huge shouts, disappeared at the end of a road filled with dewy water.

The crowd shouting until there was no more knight in sight, which spread in the scorn of the town officials, it was time to go back to sleep and continue to sleep, and the preparation work continued to be prepared. Lords and knights march, but officials do not march, and serfs do what they do.

Soon.

The original lively castle gradually restored quiet, with only a few sparkling crystal lamps, shining through the darkness before dawn.

Housekeeper Carter stood on Jetson Avenue, which had extinguished fire, staring at the pitch-black road for a long time.

Mrs. Morson walked over and said, "Mr. Carter, breakfast is ready and everyone is waiting for you. ”

“Well, okay. ”

“Are you nervous? ”

“No, I'm looking forward.” Carter smiled, "I am not a knight, but the master's strength does not require us to worry about him, and Shakespeare, a miraculous beast... Mrs. Morson, I have seen too many knightly glories in Flower Town, some of whom are born aristocrats. ”

Mrs. Morson nodded: "My lord is. ”

“You know I didn't work at Tulip Chamberlain until the Count appointed me as a housekeeper. When I tasted the first glass of wine in the study with my master, I understood that he was a noble natural nobleman. ”

Carter remembers when he first arrived in Flower Town, when he counted daily if the castle's food was enough.

Then Lister told him everything was going to be okay.

The tone was not discouraged, frustrated, or agitated, and calm seemed like nothing to worry about - indeed, since then, the town of flowers has grown fast and has never been saddened by food.

On the contrary.

What makes Carter more sad is how to change flavors every day to satisfy the master's appetite. The recipes in the castle are too diverse and a bit eye-catching.

“Let us bless the Lord and his followers.” Carter sat down and said.

The servants, seated around the table, suddenly straightened their bodies and followed Mr. Carter with their hands on their chests, shouting their blessings: "May the knight glory and the lord return triumphantly. ”
