Gresham can never be the subject of a banquet. He may have a little influence on everyone's mood, but after eating, drinking, talking and laughing for a while, everyone will not mention him again.
"The first snow in winter is coming soon. My old legs tell me that it should be five days later." When the old man Kipling raised his glass, everyone calmed down and listened to him. "Today we have three more partners than in previous years, Diedlit, Feige and Eddie, who are good kids. You should drink more glasses for this, enhance your understanding and form friendship. Of course, I will no longer talk about these. I am not younger than you, and I have to sleep in a while, so while I wake up, I will explain what happened tomorrow."
"Didelit, your teacher, Bishop Nathaniel, ordered you to return as soon as possible, and there is a new task for you. He left a horse in the stable and said you know where to go to find him."
The female elf nodded: "Then I will set out tomorrow morning, so please help me prepare some supplies on the way."
"Ramsden, leave the supply to you. Tomorrow you will have to prepare a cart and go to Collingwood Town with Tron and Wumama to spend the winter. You can book an extra room this year for...a month." The old man turned to Fitch and said, "Tonight is the last rest. From tomorrow onwards, you will have to carry out the course of strengthening the ceremony and prepare physically and mentally. The ceremony will start in three days, and the ceremony will last for most of the day so that it can end before it snows."
"After completing the ceremony, you can officially become a member of the fortress, and Eddie can go back and report. At that time, you happen to stop in Collingwood, and Ramsden will prepare you for a long trip and hire trustworthy guards."
"Yes, you have to have a guard." Feiqi nodded: "Eddie has been taking care of me all the way, so be sure to be safe when you go back."
"Where are the rest, Kere, come and help me prepare for the final preparation of the enhancement ceremony. Giles checks the fortress and the surroundings. We must live a good winter." The old man shook his wine glass: "Bak your feet by the stove, listen to the gurgling sound of boiling water, and enjoy leisure with my dear friends-I hope we all spend these days with snow like this. Goddess protects you, and be happy and healthy."
"Goddess protects you, be happy and healthy." Everyone raised their glasses and prayed for blessings.
Feiqishu chewed the radish comfortably, and finally filled the regrets brought by eating less vegetables to a certain extent. After all, it is certain that the living standards have dropped significantly when traveling to this world, and the source of food and cooking methods are much less than before. In particular, there is the saying that "the underground food is cursed by the devil", which makes this land vast and sparsely populated, and the world with potatoes and sweet potatoes has not yet fully solved the problem of food and clothing.
There must be something wrong with this. Feiqi sucked the potato vermicelli while thinking. According to the memory of the Fork Road Demon, the devil has not cursed, so potatoes, sweet potatoes, and radishes do not need to be "purified". Planting and eating by themselves is not only to solve the food problem, but more importantly, to make the Ice Peak Fortress have stronger independence.
The problem with the fortress is that there are few people, large appetites, and no one farms - of course there are not many places to farm. Then, the place has to rely entirely on the food supplied by the church. In the past, there was no problem with this dependence relationship, but Gresham Gary became the superior of the Ice Peak Fortress. He had already been in the first day of the first day, and Fitch could not expect him not to do the fifteenth. In any case, it would be best if the fortress was not afraid of him finding reasons to deduct money and food.
Self-reliance, hard work, and moving from self-sufficiency to prosperity and strength. The goal of prosperity and strength behind is a bit too far, but the previous ones are correct. Feiqi ate a plate of minced meat vermicelli and began to think about where to get some raw potatoes.
"The story has not been finished, this is my biggest regret. Can you tell me that the 100,000 arrows were found on time?"
Under the influence of alcohol, Didert's face turned red, and when his eyes narrowed, he looked like a dangerous cat. This elf paladin is a good partner and worthy of handing over her back, but embracing her head to develop a deeper relationship is another matter. Feiqi has not thought about this, but he is still using other people's bodies, and some psychological obstacles cannot be overcome. Besides, Didert's just unable to drink and has not shown any of the above feelings. Well, alcohol does not only affect her, Feiqi feels that he thinks a little too much.
"Do you think I'm a spoiler bad guy?" Feiqi shook his finger and said, "No, I won't tell you in advance. But you know I'm here, so you can write to me. Once I have your address, I'll send you the story that follows if I have time."
"This... although it's OK, it's too troublesome. I might have to follow the teacher around, so there's no fixed address." Diderit held his chin with a finger and tilted his head slightly for a while: "I know a poet, and I asked him to come to you. He writes very quickly, which can save you time."
The real way to save time is to forget this... But if you think about it, Diedlit is not a member of the Bingfeng Fortress. She is a girl who accompanied a group of people out to catch monsters in the cold wind of late autumn, wielding a heavy sword to fight with griffons. What's wrong with her helping her like this?
"Okay, let him come to me. I have no other place to go, just at the Ice Peak Fortress."
The elf girl left happily, still holding midnight. The little black cat struggled, but probably had to find an opportunity to escape from her - Feiqi threw away a look of "I can't beat you, I can't help you". He didn't have time to sit around him for long, and Eddie came over. Eddie had been staring at Feiqi since the banquet, and his eyes didn't look like a servant staring at the master: "Young Master, are you okay?"
"It's not good, either. Just what I said to Dilly just now: Where else can I be besides the Ice Peak Fortress?" Feiqi raised his head and ate a piece of ham, rubbed his somewhat swollen belly, and rudely wiped his mouth: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with my condition, it just needs to be made a lot of changes. Eddie, are you caring about me?"
"Yes." Eddie admitted directly, completely beyond Feiqi's expectations. "Young Master, I'm very happy to see you like this. In the past, you laughed and indulged in front of others, and you were in pain when you returned home. Now your body has improved and you have quit alchemy poison. And whether you are angry or happy, it is true. It is better than fake."
"Oh, I didn't expect Eddie to have the potential to become a philosopher!" Feiqi applauded vigorously, and then said, "Okay, since you care about me, I sincerely hope you live a happy life. If you have the opportunity to read, in this world, serving goddesses is more promising than serving nobles."
"I think the eldest young master is fine. He is a polite knight. I should be transferred to him after I go back this time."
"But let it go! The knight is used to kill people. Being polite is either pretending or weakness. The most promising person in the Hall family is actually me, but no one has the vision!"
Eddie stared at Feich wide-eyed, trying to find evidence of getting drunk on the young master's face. However, Feich was very sober, and his tone was confident and sincere, at most a little proud, but there was no trace of self-deception. Eddie wanted to ask more clearly, but Feich left the banquet early on the grounds that he had to take a risk and had to rest when he was physically tired and needed to take a break.
He had just been resurrected and his body was at his best, so he was walking steadily, so he would not look tired? Feiqi did not go back to the room, but went straight to the old man Kipling's room, knocked on the door, and then pushed it straight into it.
The old man had not yet rested, and was watching the book in a daze under the candlestick. Feiqi used his magic to smash the paper ball on his head, and said with a smile: "Sir Snow Owl, I'm a little nervous. I want to start learning about the enhancement ritual tonight. Is it OK?"
"Okay, this is a good thing. I've prepared it for you a long time ago. The paper pressed under the ink bottle over there is." Old Man Kipling grabbed the ball of paper above his head, threw it gently, and threw it back to the high-legged table at the door. It was much more difficult to throw the ball of paper accurately than throwing a flying knife or something. Feich's flattery immediately rushed up like a tide.
"Okay, I'll believe it if I continue!" The old man smiled, obviously in a good mood: "It's not difficult to enhance the ritual. With the ability you show, it's no problem to master it."
"Although I have made many mistakes before, I have not been able to learn alchemy hard." Feiqi picked up the scroll of the enhanced ritual and browsed it quickly. He saw many new explanations that were added next to the quaint and old texts. Obviously, Lord Kipling spent some time making some modifications to the ritual.
"The training time is still too short, and it must be modified to make the ritual go smoothly. Fortunately, your progress is much better than I thought, so don't worry too much about the ritual. Oh, if you have the energy, study the difference between the two enhancement rituals, you should gain a lot."
"Seeing that you are always so confident, I will definitely study it in depth!" Feiqi shook the scroll and said goodbye and left.
I don't know when I successfully got rid of Diderit at midnight and escaped from a banquet where he could not eat anything. He and Feige reunite on the stairs and went to the library together. Feige reads every day, and some spell research requires reading the silver-sealed magic books. This is better to do it privately. So, he has a bedding scroll in the library, and he spent many nights here.
"The ceremony will be enhanced in three days. To be honest, I'm a little nervous." Feiqi sat cross-legged and lay on his knees at midnight, arching his back slightly for him to touch. "Did you know, mood will affect learning efficiency, so let's do something interesting first!"
He put the scroll aside, stretched out his hand and spread it with his palm upwards. "When facing the contract demon, the contract does not need to be on paper. As long as both parties agree, the devil's contract can be produced in a verbal form. Sure enough, what I was thinking is right..."
As he spoke, a dark brown scroll with silver edges slowly emerged in his palm. The scroll was decorated very beautifully, with gold wire hanging spikes on the shaft. Open the scroll and the parties who made the contract were the quasi-inspector who represented the Church of the Goddess of Truth, Paladin Gresham Gary, and the Hell Contract, Mofich Hall, representing the Ice Peak Fortress.
"What a simple contract to exchange for double supplies for griffin heads!" Feiqi looked at the words on the contract, and the ability of the contract demon was exerted. All the changes in this contract appeared in his heart. "Gresham, although your behavior is in line with the administrative procedures of the church, has the other party agreed to the contract? This is a breach of contract. Moreover, you breached the contract on the thirteenth day. Unfortunately, the griffin was dead at that time. In other words, the devil completed his own work, and the Paladin relied on the debt."
"Now, what you owe is an apology and some supplies, which is not worth much. If you can realize the mistake and make up for it immediately, this contract will not cause any harm. Or when the spring comes, you reissue the order, collect the griffin's head, and send the supplies, I can't do anything to you. But..." Feiqi hesitated for a moment, so he would think clearly about the use of devilish methods.
