Warhammer Throne Chapter 142: ,Midsummer Night

Midsummer Festival, one of the traditional festivals in the old world, is held around June every year. On this day, people will light a bonfire to celebrate the arrival of summer.

Since Ryan came to Jean Baron, this territory has undergone earth-shaking changes. More wooden buildings have been built, and open roads cover the wilderness, connecting five villages and towns.

Brand-new canals led out clean water from the Chinon River to irrigate the farmland.

The serfs were happy to find that even in the slack time, they still had something to do. The knight master issued various recruitment orders. As long as they wanted, there were many paid jobs to participate in, which made their lives much easier. .

More projects are still under construction. Along the Chinon River, many workshops have begun to take shape, and many freedmen have migrated to the Jean Baronian, looking for opportunities for promotion.

Tomorrow is Midsummer Day, and all the serfs will collectively go to the lord's castle. They will each receive a glass of ale and a piece of rye bread according to the name of the roster. This is the mercy of the knight masters.

In the Baron's Castle, Ryan is also holding a banquet with his retainers. Participants in the banquet are his tax officer Gasparton, his steward Kasenberg, his brother Anglang, and the paladin Alfred. , Two ranger knights Lopus and Olivier.

Unknowingly, the Baron's own team has gradually become thicker. Lopus and Olivier both recruited several knights. As for the big man Anglang, Ryan explained that this was his brother, who was kicked out for committing a crime. Here, he took him in by himself.

There seems to be no problem.

The Nords in the north were a lot taller, although Anglang was indeed too tall, everyone didn't particularly care.

Wine and food, candles burning on large wooden tables and walls, since Ryan treated the serfs differently, the serfs really exploded with labor and enthusiasm, and the progress of the project accelerated a lot. Although many parts of the building and minaret were still being renovated, the city walls were also restored. After the stamping, the craftsmen cleared the banquet hall as soon as possible for the baron's use.

Ryan raised his ivory wine glass and said to everyone present: "Everyone, let us drink this glass together. I wish everyone good health here!"

"I wish you all good health!" Everyone raised their glasses, beer foam splashed, and Angelang moved the fastest. He took a sip of a large glass of Al beer, then hiccuped, and continued to'mute. 'Head eating and drinking.

Everyone looked at him with a little fear.

At first, everyone in the territory thought that the baron's brother had come here to beg for acceptance, eating and drinking.

But since the baron offered to train him, everyone saw the strength of this big man.

He caught Ryan, who was the champion of the Lake Fairy 'female' god-chosen, with a hammer. The holy grail knight who passed the order was unable to fight back in front of this big man, was beaten with a bruised face and embarrassed.

Ryan didn't care either. He often healed his injury completely one night, so he found his elder brother again the next day, and then he was beaten with a bruised nose and looking for teeth all over the floor.

After a long time, everyone knew that this baron's brother named Anglang was unfathomable, and they all had great awe of him.

Everyone sat down again and continued to eat.

Then, a dining car was pushed outside the banquet hall, and the dark 'jing' Orika pushed the dining car into the banquet hall.

"Oh! God, this smell, is it?"

"Praise the'female' fellow!"

"My baron, you are so generous!"

Smelling the sweet smell, everyone had already guessed what it was pushing forward.

"Thank the'woman' for giving us such delicious food. I will show it to everyone today. I hope everyone can do their best and work hard." Ryan stood up and walked to the dining car.

Picking up the lid, small white bread appeared in front of everyone.

This kind of bread is very small, not as big as Ryan's fist. The surface of the bread is baked into a golden 'color', with a sweet smell, and a 'fine' milk oil is applied to it.

"It's the Queen's Bread! It's the Queen's Bread!" Gasparton stood up, the tax officer's face was very'excited', and even'want' to cry: "My baron, how can we get this? Your gift like this?"

"This is a reward for everyone's hard work, and also an encouragement for the next conscription work." Ryan laughed.

As a result, the small round white bread was distributed in front of everyone. Each person had only one piece, the size of a palm, but everyone except Ryan's brother Angland was like a treasure, carefully divided with a knife and fork. Chew carefully.

Only Angelang smiled at his brother, the World Devourer Gene Primarch grabbed it and swallowed it, then nodded in satisfaction and gave his brother a thumbs up.

Ryan smiled when he saw this.

This kind of bread is made from the'fine' ground wheat flour sent by the lake god'Witch' Mogiana, adding'chicken' eggs, cow's milk, honey and vanilla, and using brewer's yeast instead of ordinary pasta , The "milk" bread "queen bread" made by baking after the "fine" heart fermentation.

This kind of bread may not be a rare thing for Ryan, who came from the celestial dynasty in his previous life, but in this world, this kind of "milk" bread is a real super luxury product. Even the king can't eat it all for a super high-end enjoyment. NS.

At least when he participated in the Holy Day Festival of the White Wolf God of War as a white wolf knight, he would at most give some grilled 'meat' and wine to drink.

The 30 kilograms of'fine' ground wheat flour sent by the "Witch" of the Lake God is a real high-end luxury product. Many dukes may not have so much stock in their homes. This proves the wealth of the "Girl" of the Lake Fairy. Because of her preference for Ryan, Ryan understood that he would only express gratitude.

Of course, Ryan's heart deeply knows that this kind of thing must not be given in excess, and it must not be a convention. Everyone only needs to eat a little and taste enough. This kind of thing is too precious to let them think of the baron. There are a lot of things, and it's too stingy for us to divide this point, and we can't let them get used to having this kind of extravagant food.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

This is also the reason why Ryan stopped feeding the serfs and graded them based on labor efficiency. No one would appreciate you if they ate well. Once these serfs got used to the excellent food provided by the lord, then this project might not be completed the next year. In the future, there will be no such food for enlistment and coercion, and the serfs will even riot, and they will not remember that the coercion is not provided with food.

After tasting the queen's bread, Ryan coughed and said, "Speaking of which, the news of the conscription was released. How was the response?"

"The response has been very enthusiastic, my baron!" Lopus smashed his lips, seemingly still recalling the taste of queen bread: "The serfs are vying to join the infantry regiment, or send their sons into the army. In the Corps, everyone is asking the lord what kind of boy he wants."

Ryan nodded, his brand of Holy Grail Knight was hard enough, it was not surprising that the serfs would react this way.

In Bretania, there are two ways to enter the infantry regiment. The first is that when the infantry regiment suffers a serious loss, the lord will select people from the serfs to enter the infantry regiment. This is regarded by the serfs as the next best thing, because the knight master Because of their excessive replenishment, their salaries will be drastically reduced, making them similar to ordinary serfs' income levels.

The second is the conscription festival on Midsummer Eve. The serfs will take all their boys to the lord's castle, hoping that the boys can be selected by the knights as a member of the infantry regiment. For serfs, it was a great honor for their children to become infantry soldiers. They could not only enjoy shelter from the wind and rain, but also the food rations and serfs' salaries, which were much higher.

The militiamen still have the opportunity to be promoted to be sergeants or even rangers. If they can get there, it will be no glory. They will reap the status of free people, move into castles or towns to live, and completely change their lives.

The knight masters certainly wouldn't let the serfs think so easily. A serf wants to become a sergeant or even a ranger. Some serfs have been refused promotion by the knight master during their whole life. Only the Holy Grail knights will treat the serf's contribution fairly.

If you want to be a glorious sergeant and win the status of a free citizen, there is only war!

The serfs and even their knight masters wanted war! The trophies seized, the rewards of the knight master and the space for promotion are their hope for survival!

Several people talked about the recent internal affairs for a while, and there was a scream of wings and horses outside.

After Ryan heard it, he said directly: "Then please continue, drink happily, I'll leave a bit beforehand."

"Okay, my baron!" "No problem, brother."

So Ryan left the banquet hall on the first floor.

Outside the castle, under the 'color' of the moon, a haughty pegasus is standing proudly in the beautiful moonlight, its white wings are fully extended, its silver 'color' mane's 'hair' shimmering, and its strong limbs are full of beauty.

Pegasus mounts, a beautiful'female' rider with blond hair and blue eyes is taking off her helmet. Behind her is an Emilia in Winford College's summer student uniform. Seeing Ryan is standing there waiting for them, little' The maid waved her hands excitedly: "Mr. Lane! I'm back!"

"Welcome back, Emilia, and, welcome, Miss Suria." Ryan's tall figure stood upright, and the Baron smiled warmly: "How come Miss Suria personally sent you back?"

"Uh..." The standard uniform of the college is a waistcoat, a white'color' shirt and a checkered'flower' patterned knee-length skirt. Wearing on Emilia's body, it feels a little budding. The'girl' child sees him. When in doubt, he hurriedly said embarrassedly: "President Su Liya kindly sent me back, because there is something in the college, and it's a bit late when I want to come back. President Su Liya is worried that I will not be alone. Safe, ride a Pegasus to send me back."

"Hey, it's okay if you are too busy to come back later." Ryan said with a wry smile. The'female' knight sent the little'maid' servant back is actually just a simple effort. From Brunhild, riding a Pegasus at full speed can fly directly over the mountain. It takes 15 minutes to come to the Genen collar, which is a drive for the'female' knight.

Ryan must accept this favor: "Thank you Miss Suria for your kindness."

"It's okay, Lord Ryan, Miss Emilia hasn't returned to Gene for a long time. I think she is a little anxious and sent her back." The'female' knight shook his head and signaled that it was okay.

Emilia has not returned to Baron Jean for several weeks since she went to Winford College to study. She has just enrolled and has a lot of things. The college only rests one day a week, and she often has things too late to return.

Emilia felt a little guilty about this. There was a three-day holiday in Midsummer, and she felt that she was coming back anyway.

Ryan didn't say anything, he nodded and motioned to Emilia and Suria to follow him.

On the way back, Emilia cautiously said to Su Liya: "Is he angry?"

The'female' knight smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, Lord Ryan is not the kind of narrow-minded person, otherwise he won't be a holy grail knight."

All the way back to the small wine chateau owned by the Baron Jean, Ryan took out the king's order from behind the table and handed it to the'female' knight: "This is a warrant from His Majesty Richard. This year's Chivalry War general is the Marquis of Anshi, may I ask Do you know him?"

Emilia was a little uneasy. Ryan patted the little 'maid' servant on the shoulder and signaled that he had no objection to her, but was anxious to deal with something.

The baron clapped his hands, and Olica brought juice and queen bread from outside for the'female' knight and the little'maid' servant to enjoy. Sulia was a little surprised to see that Ryan had queen bread here, and the'female' knight was not polite. , Enjoy it after thanking it.

Seeing that Ryan had no objection, Emilia took a small bite. She seemed to be no stranger to this kind of food.

"Marquis of Angshi? His Majesty Richard would choose him. It is really surprising." The'female' knight, like Emilia today, wore a white'female' shirt and a blue'color' plaid. Short skirt, slender and straight pair of beautiful big long'legs' wrapped in black'color' stockings, wearing a pair of fiery red'color' stiletto heels, hearing what Ryan said, Suria said strangely: "The age of the Marquis of Angshi and Ryan Your Excellency is similar and has participated in a lot of wars, but this is the first time that he has personally served as a general commander."

"Your Excellency has received the King's Order?" Ryan felt even more weird. Did Duke Winford not receive the King's Order?

The dazzling blond hair shook, and the'female' knight shook his head: "No, your majesty generally does not directly issue a king's order to his father. Usually, the envoy comes to negotiate with his father the number of people participating in the Chivalry War and the amount of war tax. ."

The baron began to realize that something was wrong.

Obviously he is the baron of the Duke of Winford, why does the king's king's order come directly to him?

Doesn't His Majesty the King even understand the truth that "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal"?

No, it is absolutely impossible for the king not to understand this, otherwise it is impossible for him to sit in the position of the king for twenty-four years.

Well, the only explanation is.

What I have done recently has made the great nobles of the Knight Kingdom have opinions.
