Miss Elise's hunting party was held in the black forest northwest of the Barony of Hereford. otbnkotgt It's part of the northern wilderness.
A large number of fir and red pine trees form a lush woodland.
A large number of elk, rabbits, foxes and other wild animals hide in it.
I've never heard of anything too dangerous, a big beast.
The roads are not very complicated, so it is suitable for activities such as hunting and safari.
Speaking of this kind of hunting party, it originally had little to do with the nobles of the "civilized world".
For gatherings held by Gothic nobles deep in the interior of the old world, there are usually only two large-scale entertainment activities, one is a banquet, and the other is a knight's tournament.
Rather than chasing prey on horseback and shooting them with bows and arrows, the Gothic nobles in the interior preferred to see knights in helmets and armor charging at each other and poking their opponents down with lances.
However, the Kingdom of Wende, which was located on the border and could be said to be the edge of the civilized world, was different.
Although the Wende nobles were still part of the Gothic Empire, they were influenced by the local Slavis, nomads on the Tartaglia steppe, and the Centaur tribe.
The nobles of the Wende Kingdom have a high degree of acceptance of hunting, bows and arrows, and mounted archery.
Their military combat style and life and entertainment are very different from the inland Goths.
Compared with the cumbersome and time-consuming knightly tournament, they prefer to use hunting activities to show off their martial prowess and show off their strength.
William and John, as well as other entourages from the Barony of Hereford, rode forward in this way, heading towards the Black Forest.
Because they set off relatively late, it was already evening when they arrived.
In the campsite on the outskirts of the Black Forest, a bonfire was burning.
A group of more than twenty noble men and women were sitting around a bonfire.
Loud talking and laughing, occasionally quarreling, a few people gathered in small circles and talked in low voices.
However, whether they are talking and laughing loudly or arguing quietly, all the young nobles have one thing in common: the center.
They were like stars circling the moon, with a girl as the center of their activities.
They talked, laughed, and whispered, all to please the girl.
And that girl is Iris Mikandis.
The countess, who is now fifteen years old and in her prime, watches all this with reserve, and occasionally agrees to the words of the aristocratic young people who come around.
But more often than not, her response was just silence and a smile.
It was the kind of smile that would make people feel ashamed, and then they would retreat on their own initiative.
It made the aristocratic youths who came close to Baba retreat while becoming more eager, more eager to try, and more obsessed.
"It's really boring, Amy.
I originally just wanted to come here to have fun and get rid of the pursuit of these men.
But who would have thought that they are chasing after me again."
During a break in the conversation, the Countess softly covered her mouth with a pink feather fan.
As for the female companion she called Amy, a baroness nearby was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a sour tone: "There is nothing you can do about it, Elise, no matter where you go.
The place is the center.
Those boys are obsessed with you."
"Is that so?"
Miss Elise tried her best to sound distressed and confused.
"That's it, just like moths in the night, they will rush towards the flame regardless.
These boys will risk everything for you."
Miss Amy continued to say in a sour tone.
To be honest, her appearance is pretty good.
Usually there is no shortage of suitors around the territory.
It's just that this time, compared with Elise, her little beauty is not enough.
"You are exaggerating, Amy."
Elise continued.
"I'm not talking nonsense.
Look, another moth has flown over."

Following Amy's eyes, Elise saw William and his party pushing aside the branches blocking the way and walking over with their horses.
"Wilhelm von Hereford" Miss Elise recalled a little.
Then he said the name in an uncertain tone.
"It's him, the son of Baron Hereford.
I didn't expect him to come too.
It's really disappointing."
Miss Amy said.
"Yeah."
Although Miss Elise had met William before, William's behavior was not very conspicuous.
So it didn't leave a deep impression on her.
However, looking at Amy's attitude, it seems that this person is a pretty bad guy.
"What's wrong, Amy?"
Elise asked.
"It's nothing.
It's just that this guy is too cowardly.
He doesn't look like a man at all."
Amy said: "Elise, you may not know that he is famous as a useless guy in our generation.
He is already so old, But he has not yet undergone any knight training.
His character is also very bad, he is cowardly and incompetent.
His father has long spoiled him. " "Is that so?
I don't think so."
Elise replied casually.
William, who had just arrived here, immediately felt the contempt and unwelcome of this group of people before he had time to take a rest.
"William, what is this boy doing here?
He doesn't know how to ride a horse or sword.
Is he going to kill an enemy with his quill?"
"Look at his little reed-like arms and legs.
I'm afraid they will be broken if he exerts even a little force.
A man like him wants to hunt."
Of course, such a quiet, private discussion is considered polite.
William noticed that there were still a few people who were acting unscrupulously and looking at him provocatively.
One of them had stood up and walked towards him.
"Hereford family, this is not the place you should come to."
The young man who was almost a head taller than William said condescendingly: "Go back to your father's territory, you useless waste. " This guy is the Baron Korno in the territory next to William.
Baron Korno's eldest son Michael is a fifteen-year-old trainee knight.
Like most nobles of this era, Baron Corneau's relationship with Baron Hereford was quite poor as neighbors.
In order to compete for some disputed border territories, the two sides once fought all the way to the Grand Duke of Mazovia.
Of course, because of the ambiguous attitudes of the Grand Duke of Mazovia and Xini, the two sides fought without hesitation.
The war ended in victory for the Barons of Hereford.
After his army arrived at Corno Castle, Baron Corno had to recognize Hereford's ownership of the border territory and at the same time compensate Hereford a large sum of money.
That was the end of the matter, but the hatred lingered.
Baron Korno spent half his life teaching his son Michael only two things, one was to fear the Lord of Radiance, and the other was to hate the Hereford family.
Under such circumstances, at the surrounding noble activities and parties.
As soon as Michael and William meet, the former will definitely try his best to make things difficult, insult and provoke the latter.
Michael also enjoyed spreading unfavorable rumors about William.

The old version of William had a more cowardly character, and was always powerless and timid when facing the powerful Michael.
This intensified Michael's arrogance.
He is now eager to try, fantasizing about fighting another war with William after inheriting the title and territory of the baron.
He believed that this time, he would never fail.
"Really?"
Michael's words and attitude were no different from those at previous gatherings of nobles.
The only difference is that the people he faces have changed.
William smiled casually.
He didn't take Michael seriously.
This made Michael feel a little embarrassed.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying, Hereford slug?"
he said loudly.
He just hoped that William would show a scared look like before so that he could take this opportunity to laugh at him again.
"Sorry.
I borrowed it for a moment."
What Michael didn't expect was that William was still afraid or shrinking.
There was just a little more disgust in his expression.
"you" "You are not the initiator of this hunting party.
Are you?"
William interrupted Michael who was about to get angry. "" Mihail didn't expect him to say that, and was stunned.
"And I remember this forest clearly.
This is the legal territory of our Hereford family.
This was recognized by your father, the real Baron Korno.
Mr.
Michael, you should know very well.
You know this, don't you?"
William continued.
"That's" Michael was about to say: "This is what you took away from my family."
But then, he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
He lost to the Hereford family.
The war was something the Korno family was deeply ashamed of.
In any case, Michael should not have said this himself.
"So, Mr.
Michael."
William smiled: "The organizer of this hunting activity is Miss Elise, who obtained the permission from my father.
Then, the owner of this forest is us Hereford De family.
What about you, Mr.
Michael?
You are neither the organizer of the event nor the owner of the venue.
What is your status and what basis do you have to expel me?"
"You, you" Mihail's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't find anything to say to refute.
But after a while, he regained his smile: "I didn't want to do anything, William."
He said with a smile: "I do it for your own good and don't want you to make a fool of yourself during the next hunting activity."
"Yeah, thank you very much."
William agreed casually, and then turned around.

Michael was left alone.
"Hmph.
Whatever, hunting is not something people like you can do anyway.
It's not bad to just let you stay and embarrass yourself in front of Miss Elise."
Mihail thought in his heart.
After this, Miss William Elise met.
After paying tribute to each other and saying hello, William said directly: "It's getting late, so I'm going to have a rest.
You can do whatever you want."
This surprised Miss Elise a little.
"It seems you guessed wrong, Amy."
Elise whispered to her female companion: "This one doesn't seem to be a moth in the fire."
"It's just pretending."
Amy whispered: "Those boys are always smart and do some weird things in order to attract other people's attention.
I'm sure he did it on purpose, just to attract attention."
You wonder, and if you're really curious, you're fooled."
"What you said seems to make sense."
Elise nodded.
In this way, William made a brief appearance at the bonfire party, and then hid back in his tent.
Little John felt very strange about this: "Master, why don't you go there and be with Miss Elise?"
In the camp, Little John couldn't help but ask.
"Why should I be with her?"
William asked.
"Ah, um, don't you like her?"
Little John was even more surprised.
"Master, I don't like her anymore.
Let's get this matter settled quickly.
Then we can go back home.
I will be less involved in this kind of thing in the future.
That's it."
Yes, that's it, William's idea is to just hang out for a few days.
Peace and stability are the best.
When he went back, he reported to his father that his heart had become cold.
From now on, he would just ignore Miss Elise if she loved whomever she loved.
That's it.
Next, chat with John.
After chatting for a while, they heard the sounds outside the camp gradually diminishing.
It must be that the boys and girls are also tired and ready to go to bed.
But William still had no intention of sleeping.
Maybe it's because I slept too much during the day.
William didn't feel sleepy at all.
"The best place to hold this kind of hunting party is not in the forest, but in the wilderness, in the grassland.
Only in that kind of open place can there be enough deer, bison, wild sheep and wild horses.
Only in that kind of place, Only then can the knights gallop to their heart's content.
Moreover, this season is actually not very suitable for hunting.
The most suitable time for hunting is in autumn, when the sky is high and the air is crisp.

At that time, the animals were at their fattest after a summer of foraging.
At the same time, in order to survive the winter, the fur of animals is also the thickest and best.
It's summer now, summer, early summer.
The animals have just recovered from the cold winter, there is not much meat, and the fur is not good.
In order to withstand the scorching heat of summer, the animals will shed their hair at this time.
Hunting at this time is just nonsense.
One is to do twice the result with half the effort, the other is to do twice the result with half the effort.
Smart people should know how to choose. " William combined the memory of the old version of William with the experience and knowledge of the new version of William, whether it was right or wrong, the clouds and mountains were filled with mist.
As we talked, we talked about this hunting, and then we had the above words.
Then, Miss Elise’s face turned red and white outside the tent.
Although I agree with what Amy said, "William is deliberately attracting himself, if you are curious, you will lose."
But Miss Elise couldn't help but wanted to come over and see what William was doing.
As a result, she heard such words.
Although William didn't say it clearly, she still heard it, and the other party seemed to think that she was a fool.
When the other boys were all surrounding her, flattering and praising her, William would speak of her in such a way, and Elise would of course feel unhappy.
Very, very unhappy.
Although the rationality in my heart is also in my body, I said, "What he said seems to make sense."
But after all, women are still emotional creatures.
When Miss Elise got angry, she couldn't help but talk across the camp: "So, Mr.
William knows a lot about hunting, and his hunting skills are also very good."
"The young master is Miss Elise, what should we do?"
After hearing the voice, Little John was all excited.
There is nothing terrible about gossiping behind someone's back.
What is terrible is being caught gossiping about someone behind their back.
These two points combined can almost kill a person.
Although John was not the victim, he instinctively felt very, very embarrassed and very nervous until he found out that the real person involved, his young master William von Hereford, had nothing wrong with him.
"Young Master" After seeing William's calm look, John couldn't care less about panic and was only surprised.
There was only one thing on his mind: "Why isn't the young master afraid?"
Of course William is not afraid, because William doesn't like this woman.
Since he doesn't like her, there is no need to please her, and there is no need to care about her opinion of him.
It's that simple.
After that, William shrugged and called out slightly reluctantly: "Is it Miss Elise?"
"It's me, Mr.
William."
Elise replied from across a tent: "Just now, cousin Michael's behavior was a little too much.
I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Elise."
William replied: "I don't take it to heart about Mr.
Michael, and there is absolutely no need for you to apologize for him.
It's not too early now, I think, you It’s time to rest.
Let’s meet again tomorrow, okay?”
Elise was thinking about what to say to win back the victory, but she didn't expect that William would directly issue an eviction order.
At that time, she was angry that this man had tried so hard to invite me to his small shabby castle a few days ago.
Why did you suddenly change your words now?
It’s like you think I’m annoying and you want to drive me away.

So Miss Elise spoke again.
Of course, she did not follow William's advice and leave.
On the contrary: "Don't you want me to come in and sit for a while, Mr.
William?"
Although William was a little helpless.
But since the other party said so, it was naturally impossible for him to refuse.
"Then please come in, Miss Elise."
But then, Little John nodded, bowed, winked, and hurriedly ran out, leaving only the two of them alone, which made William feel a little uncomfortable.
"Tea, do you want a drink?"
William asked after Miss Elise sat down.
After getting an affirmative answer, he found another unused teacup and handed over the freshly brewed tea.
Miss Elise looked at the cup of tea without milk or sugar in a daze.
After thinking about it for a while, I still didn’t dare to drink it.
Seeing the way William looked at her, Miss Elise immediately changed the topic: "From what you just said, are you very good at hunting?"
Miss Elise said.
"Absolutely.
I'll get it after all."
William nodded.
When he was serving in the experimental response force, he once had the experience of living in a virgin forest for two months without supplies.
This is a bit too modest to say.
"Is it true?
This seems different from the rumors I heard."
Elise continued.
"There will always be some gap between rumors and reality."
William said.
"Then I'll wait and see, Mr.
William.
I wish you good results in tomorrow's hunting activity."
"For your kind words."
William said this, brushing the tea leaves floating on the water with the cup lid, and took a sip.
Of course, there is no such thing as serving tea to guests in other worlds.
Miss Elise just admired it.
He, he can actually drink such bitter tea.
"Why don't you add some milk and sugar?"
Miss Elise couldn't help but ask.
"The taste is different."
William said: "Pure tea does have a bitter taste, but as long as you taste it carefully and patiently, you will find the fragrance contained in it.
This is the kind of rich black tea with milk and sugar.
There is no such thing as it has connotation and aftertaste, which is enough to make people intoxicated. ” "is that so" "That's right, that's right, trust me."
William's gentle, smiling expression made Miss Elise involuntarily choose to believe what he said.
Afterwards, when she left William's tent with a bitter taste in her mouth, she could hardly hold back her tears.
If the group of teenagers who were fascinated by her saw this scene, then William would lose a few more lives.
Not enough to compensate. 160420oshow7:
