The time has come to early December, and the Winter Veil Festival has arrived.

Ryan once thought that the people around him would be neater this year at Winter Veil, and that after becoming an earl this year, he could enjoy a reunion dinner.

The fact is that Ryan thought too much, and it was not until early December that not only did Suria return to Helenhilde early, but even Teresa and Veronica were ordered to return to the Garland Council.

The situation this time is really not the internal struggle of the Garland Council or something, but Veronica and Teresa do have important reasons to return to the Garland Council. Every five years, the Garland Council will be held. A very large-scale gathering activity, re-election and nomination of candidates for the Presbyterian Church, this point Teresa and Veronica have long been in agreement. Due to the rapid rise of Ryan, the Speaker of Garland Margarita will join Veronica. The matter of the Presbyterian Church was put on the agenda, and both Veronica and Teresa had to go back to this witch meeting, which was expected to take three months.

Before the sorceress left, Morgiana left her a mountain of "Winter Veil Assignments", including three essays no less than twelve inches long, and a self-introduction in High Gothic with hundreds of words. , and read three epics of the Knights of the Holy Grail of Brittany written in High Gothic, each with an annotation of no less than two chapters on parchment in High Gothic.

Teresa turned blue as she looked at the mountain of parchment and thick books wider than her thumb, but Morgiana's orders were absolute, and she could only go with the piles of homework.

Before the Winter Veil Festival, Ryan held an annual meeting, affirming the achievements of the year, and rewarding the knights who made contributions. After the meeting, the earl found himself alone. His knights Most of them already have a family, and even the few who do not have a family will stay at home to pray, or spend the holidays with their lover.

Ryan himself does not have much identification with Winter Veil, so his attitude towards Winter Veil is simply a holiday, a day to rest.

In mid-December, the first day of the Winter Veil holiday, the weather today is extremely cold, the howling wind blows through the Earl of Glamorgan, the sky is gloomy, and the serfs and freemen in the territory are celebrating a rare year. In good times, they put on lanterns and tried their best to celebrate the coming of the Winter Veil.

The winery near the Earl's Castle is also very lively. Durand, the head of the winery, is paying wages to the wine workers, except for a small number of people who are responsible for the maintenance of the vines in winter. Most of the workers get enough vacation time.

As the head of the Earl's Chateau, Durand is already a middle-aged man in his thirties. He wears a round hat, a black gentleman's dress and a brown bearskin coat, although his thirties are not counted. Very old, but his eyes have a lot of wind and frost. He was born in a poor family of knights. The family was unable to buy knight equipment for him. He had to be a housekeeper in the winery of the Marquis of Ascot. Responsible for the operation of the winery.

Later, Baron Lane-Makado came, so the Marquis of Ascot did not hesitate to hand over the ownership of Durand to Lane.

Durand, who was in his thirties, really felt the feeling of being displaced. Ryan was the lady's chosen champion. Durand was looking forward to his arrival and was also a little afraid.

Fortunately, Ryan still attaches great importance to this wine castle. Although he himself seldom lives here because of his busy business, he has always attached great importance to the repair of the wine castle and the construction of the winery. The high walls of the winery were repaired in just over a year, the vineyards in the winery were expanded, processed and cultivated, and the professional wine masters from the court of Winford brought the best varieties of grapes and cuttings without asking for anything in return. Technology, Durand finally got a chance to show off.

It was only later that Durand learned that the Wynford Court was not free at all, they were just paving the way for their young lady.

And now, Durand is still in a morbid excitement, and he knows why.

Two shining figures in full-body plate armour approached, wearing cross helmets and gorgeous smocks, the family coat of arms on their bodies explained their family history and glory, and the long swords on their waists were in the middle of winter. The air exudes a moving brilliance, the top of the helmet, on the family coat of arms, in the pattern on the plate armor, the golden chalice pattern indicates their identity.

They are the glorious Holy Grail Knights.

Yes, since the spring of this year, twenty Holy Grail Knights have been stationed in the winery, which makes the residents of the entire earl feel very proud, and many Holy Grail pilgrims come to the winery and the fairy tower in the lake. , forming a unique tourism economy.

After a long period of contact, Durand realized that the Holy Grail Knights are not so unattainable. Their lives are relatively monotonous. They often only do a few things throughout the day, eating, sleeping, praying, patrolling, and the Holy Grail Knights. Their lives were never the ascetic life that people imagined. They ate good wine and meat, and occasionally found young women to meet their needs, some of whom were Holy Grail Knights and the Goddess of Mercy who was stationed at the hospital. The priest and the Lady of the Lake have a relatively fixed partnership, but they get married less often. The Lady of the Lake does not prohibit the Holy Grail Knights from marrying, but all Holy Grail Knights prioritize the mission of the Goddess and guarding the Holy Land of the Goddess.

"Mr. Durand, good morning." A Holy Grail knight raised his hand to greet Durand naturally: "In the name of the lady, Happy Winter Veil."

"Happy Winter Veil! Your Excellency Alex, Your Excellency Jules." Durand recognized the two Holy Grail Knights, and he quickly bowed to greet the Holy Grail Knights: "Praise the lady."

"Mr. Durand, why are you still doing things during the holiday?" Winter Veil Festival is also a statutory holiday stipulated by the fairies in the lake. Today is not used for prayer. The two Holy Grail Knights came back after patrolling the winery in the morning. When they saw Durand here Come and ask.

Since the Holy Grail Knights appeared in the winery, Durand no longer had to think about safety issues at all. More importantly, the appearance of the Holy Grail Knights had a very powerful deterrent effect on the local security. These living saints sometimes visited. Observe the trials organized by village elders or knights. The Holy Grail Knights will not allow the law to be used arbitrarily. Even the lowest-level serfs will be heard when they ask for help. The living saints will not easily draw conclusions, but will investigate and understand the incident on their own. After the process, if the serfs dared to try to deceive them, they would be punished horribly, but if the injustice encountered by the serfs was true, the Holy Grail Knights would not mind making a fair ruling to safeguard the interests of the serfs.

The nobles do not like the justice of the Holy Grail Knight, but there is no doubt that as long as the Holy Grail Knight sits in the trial, justice will be served.

"The Count said he would move to the wine castle to live during the Winter Veil holiday. I want to check all the inventory and check whether there are hidden dangers in the wine castle." Durand said humbly, he tried his best to keep his posture lower.

The two Holy Grail Knights didn't say anything, they nodded. There is a main building and an annex in the winery, and the Holy Grail Knights are all stationed in the annex.

Seeing the two Knights of the Holy Grail leave, Durand and Glory were filled with self-satisfaction. He worked hard to adjust his state better, and made a gesture that I was still sticking to my post during the festival, hoping that the Count would see it. .

Not long after, a carriage came from a distance, the speed of the carriage kept on, the rolling wheels and the pack horse entered the winery directly, the door of the wine castle.

Durand knew that the earl was coming, and the head of the winery quickly trotted to the front of the carriage: "My earl!"

"Good morning, Durand, I will trouble you for a while." Ryan, dressed in the red earl's costume, stepped down from the carriage, his face was mild, and the badge of the Holy Grail Knight fluttered in the cold air: "The local arrangement Are you ready?"

"It's arranged, my earl." Durand hurriedly saluted: "Everything is arranged, according to your instructions, the fresh ingredients are frozen in the cold storage, the wine cellar has been closed, you can take it yourself."

"Very well, you can go do your work, Happy Winter Veil, Durand." Ryan took out a box of cakes: "Take it and try it with your family!"

"Thank you!" Durand took the cake box and left happily. He also had a family, and he was going back to celebrate the festival.

Ryan nodded when he saw this. The person in charge of the winery Durand cannot be said to be a particularly good operator, but he often uses diligence to make up for his shortcomings. The winery has not been prosperous in his business for more than two years, but everything well organized.

Don't underestimate Durand's overtime work, this is not the celestial dynasty of his previous life. Human beings in this world are quite resistant to overtime work. The serfs are also quite lazy on the basis of lack of clothing and food, and the nobles are even more so. Courtiers are on duty. At the time, he worked very seriously, and reported his planned vacation time to the lord in detail. Once the lord approved, the vacation time was completely the private time of the courtiers, and they were unstoppable. Unless there was an emergency, they would refuse to return to their posts.

Like Lane's tax officers Gasparton and Katzenberg, who both went home for vacation.

The thick curtain of the carriage was pulled open, Ryan stretched out his hand toward the curtain, and a hand as crystal clear as jade placed on his rough big hand: "His Royal Highness Morgiana? Please slow down."

"His Royal Highness Morgiana, be careful." The little maid Emilia, wearing a thick winter coat and long cotton socks, helped Morgiana to get off the carriage, while Ryan's personal maid Orika walked from the carriage. Go down and stand beside Ryan: "Master, did we spend the Winter Veil Festival here this year?"

"Well, we're here for the Winter Veil Festival this year." Ryan nodded.

Morgiana, who was wearing a white fox fur coat and a long silk chiffon dress, held Ryan's hand tremblingly and stepped off the carriage with Emilia's help. The Lake God Witch was still very weak after recuperating for half a year. The current state is that he can barely walk two steps against the wall.

The cold weather made Morgiana feel a little uncomfortable, and she took a deep breath: "This is... your winery, I came here last time."

"Yes, this is my winery, I have redecorated it." Ryan held Morgiana: "The castle is not a suitable place to spend winter, the winery is more suitable for winter, it turned out that the Marquis of Ascot When he was in charge, he always came here for the winter."

Mo Gianna nodded silently. After more than half a year of recuperation, she could finally change her living environment. The Lake God Witch was in a much better mood. Thinking of being able to spend the Winter Veil together in the next period of time, she couldn't help but look forward to it.

The interior of the wine castle has been completely renovated, the rustic tones and luxurious decoration have not changed, the fine cherry wood furniture has refilled the empty wine castle, the huge magic lighting and the fine ceramic tile bathtub show Ryan's style. Extraordinary financial resources.

He was left with his two maids and the lake **** witch now, so he simply brought Emilia, Orika and Morgiana to the wine castle to spend the Winter Veil Festival, Orika was fine, Emilia was particularly excited. The girl just graduated from Winford College this year and completed her female courtier course. Her beautiful and charming face was full of blushes, and the fiery red carpet and wooden-structured room were filled with her. The bouncing figure~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You can eat whatever you want at noon, and let's cook a turkey dinner together in the evening. Ryan nodded with a smile, and he reached out and rubbed Emilia's golden hair: "Amelia, congratulations on graduating from Winford College. "

"Thank you!" Emilia looked at Morgiana, then at Orika, and said happily, "I can concentrate on dressing you Ryan in the future."

"Go, Emilia, go and pick a room for yourself, there are five rooms in the main building, you can pick one yourself." Ryan nodded: "Olica shares a room with me, Her Royal Highness Morgiana, Orika I'll show you a room."

"I'll just live next door to you." Morgiana frowned without a trace, she thought Ryan would arrange for the two of them to live together.

"Also." While Emilia went to the room, Ryan sat down and said, "My Highness, don't worry, before February next year, Kas Vann will not try to fight the Empire, this weather , Kath Vann's army has not yet crossed the Grey Mountains, and it may be about 30% reduced."

"I understand." Morgiana nodded, gods belong to gods, and mortals belong to mortals. As the spokesperson of the fairy in the lake in the mortal world, she cannot interfere in the civil war of mankind, so she also chose to remain silent about this matter.

There was a beautiful snow scene outside the wine castle. A few people ate a little bread and stew at noon. After that, Orika and Emilia went to prepare a turkey dinner.

Because of the previous agreement, several distinguished guests of wood elves will visit this winery in the evening.

Ryan took Morgiana's hand: "My Highness, do you want to take a bath together?"

"...Okay." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Warhammer Throne", WeChat pays attention to "Youdu Literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
