European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 7 Windfall
Li Peijun was depressed all the way and didn't get anything. He didn't know when the next opportunity would be. Baron Mona returned to the city and counted the number of people. The personnel were intact, but there were some injuries, but nothing serious .

"Bruno, I didn't expect that your swordsmanship is really good. It seems that you have been practicing very hard." The baron was full of praise for Li Peijun's performance just now, and he didn't care about Li Peijun's injury to him.

"Come on, I am optimistic about you. During this period of time, you have practiced horse riding and archery well, and then you can start the ceremonial ceremony. To become a qualified knight, you still have a long way to go." Mona walked from the back of the horse Stepping up and down, he gave Li Peijun an eager hug, like an expectation, but also a spur. Li Peijun also responded positively, and the two hugged each other passionately.

Li Peijun was also excited. Although he didn't gain much, but he was appreciated by the baron, and his future road will be easier.

Suddenly the baron felt something strange, his face was close to Li Peijun, and his nose followed carefully.

"Bruno, I didn't expect that your kid is also a person with a sense of humor, wearing such a special perfume."

After listening to the baron's words, Li Peijun was stunned at this time. He was not like the guys in the Middle Ages who needed to use strong perfume to cover up their body odor, but it seemed that his body did exude a fragrance. Li Peijun put He picked up his collar and sniffed it. He seemed to remember something.

He put his hand into his pocket and took out the goods contained in the leather bag he had obtained during the looting to show the baron. This should be the only loot in this operation.The baron took the leather bag. There were many patterns embroidered on the outside of the bag. When he opened the mouth of the bag, it was full of spices. Although the amount was not much, it was full of pollen spices like violets and lavender, and smelled like musk. , obviously an expensive luxury.

"Complete the mission and loot, and gain +1 strength, +1 physical strength, +1 intelligence, and +1 skill points."

"I'll go, even if I succeed in picking up a spice bag, it's too easy to judge." Li Peijun's mood at this time was extremely joyful.

The baron re-sealed the bag again, weighed it in the palm of his hand, and probably had an idea in his heart. Although the selling price is said to be a sudden fortune, it can still replace a few horses and a few sets of parts. .

After each operation, the lords would reward his knights to encourage them to continue their efforts, and the baron brought the knights to his inner castle.Normally, only the lord and a few cronies can enter and leave the inner castle freely. It was also the first time for Li Peijun to enter, so he was somewhat curious.

There is not too much protection for the outer equipment in the inner castle. After passing the inner wall, there are two round tower-shaped inner castles, one tall and one short next to each other. They should all be piled up with nearby stones. The baron led the knights into the castle. In the shorter castle, the painted red double doors were pushed open.

I have to say that the lord's residence is still much more spacious. In the empty hall, there are only two rows of three-tiered candlesticks, decorative pillars in the corners, and exquisite carpets extending from the door to the end. The most conspicuous pattern of the large cross is engraved on the central hall, and in front of the cross is a Bible propped up on a stand and placed obliquely on the countertop.

The baron lined up with the knights, clasped his hands and began to pray, piously confessing today's sins to the great Lord. Li Peijun followed suit awkwardly, like a layman who did not believe in Buddhism.

After the ceremony, the baron led everyone into the inner hall with the stone steps he had bought. There was a large chandelier hanging on the top of the dining table, several Bible paintings hanging on the wall, a rectangular dining table covered with a white tablecloth, and the Abundant fruits, that's all Li Peijun's eyes see.

"Everyone, please sit down." After the baron was polite, he took the seat facing the door, which was the master's seat. The other knights sat down from near to far at once according to their closeness, military honors, and seniority. There were more than [-] people. , the position is definitely not enough, most of the knights had to stand to eat, Li Peijun was exceptionally arranged by Baron Mona to the position next to him because of his excellent performance this time.

"There is a task, and the banquet is completed gracefully."

Li Peijun was stunned, as if he had discovered something serious. "Elegant finish, what the hell?"

Although it was not yet evening, everyone was already hungry, although Li Peijun still couldn't get used to those delicacies - thin wheat bread, a pot of stewed vegetables and fruits, and roasted semi-ripe pork neck.Except for the baron and a few nearby close knights who were equipped with knives and forks, everyone at the table reached into the dishes and basins to get food with their bare hands without washing their hands. Li Peijun felt nauseated, but he just nibbled on two pieces and it was okay. Eat enough bread to fill your belly.

Naturally, wine is indispensable on the table. During the banquet, the maid presented the wine from the cellar, the baron drank ordinary red wine, and the knights still had grain wine seasoned with grape juice. Li Peijun couldn't bear the smell of the wine, and Unable to hinder the atmosphere of the whole environment, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and drink it all in one gulp.

Night has quietly fallen outside the castle, and the people in the house are still intoxicated with the wine. As they toast each other, the wine is splashing wantonly. Everyone is leaning on their backs and shoulders, drinking and chatting. The atmosphere is extremely harmonious, and only Li Peijun couldn't fit in alone.

"Father, I don't want to go to any balls, I don't want to meet any celebrities, I want to learn horseback riding and archery, and I want to become a female knight." The door on the other side of the restaurant was pushed open forcefully, and a voice came from inside. Crisp and clear female voice.

Miss Catherine is the only daughter of Baron Mona. She didn't like to go to the garden like most ladies and ladies since she was a child, but she has a strong interest in horseback riding and archery. The baron feels very troubled by this. He wants to train his daughter To become a traditional noble lady, so that she can marry other nobles in the future, this time I want to send Catherine to the ball for this purpose.

Baron Mona frowned, briefly wiped the juice stains on his mouth with a napkin, and then slowly stood up.

"Dear Catherine, stop messing around, I'm doing this for your own good." Li Peijun felt a trace of expectation and tenderness from the baron's tone.

Catherine was wearing a large floor-length robe and skirt, and she held the hem of the skirt with both hands so that the skirt would not touch the ground as much as possible. She first had feelings brewing, and then started to question her with dissatisfaction. "You are doing it for your own good, I am just your vassal." Although the words were short, they touched deeply. She completely ignored her status as a noble lady and looked like a shrew arguing with others on the street.

The baron looked embarrassed. He had embarrassed himself in front of the knights. He couldn't bear to show his emotions or face. Mona's face showed severity, and he reprimanded sternly like a rough father. "Catherine, you are still young and you don't understand yet. For the sake of the whole family, I must not do this. Maid, please take Catherine back to rest quickly. She must be tired now."

Before Catherine had time to refute, the baron asked the maids who were waiting to be called, and dragged Catherine, who was still angry, away.

"I'm so sorry that something like this has happened. Come on, everyone, continue to drink." The baron was polite, and the waiter also echoed a few witticisms. One drink after another, the atmosphere of the scene became singing and dancing again.

After the banquet, the baron bid farewell to the knights, and the castle returned to tranquility.

"The task is completed, gain intelligence +2, charisma +2, skill points +1."

Li Peijun finally relaxed completely, and finally ended the ups and downs of the day.

　It was not until the 13th to 14th century that the widespread use of knives and forks became popular among all classes. Before that, most of the time, vegetables were handled with bare hands.
