The sweet smell of roasted chestnuts in the square wafted through the layers of people and from afar, evoking a long-lasting memory.At this time of year, it is the ripening season of chestnuts, and the hairy thorns become extremely hard under the direct sunlight, which means that the chestnuts inside are ripe.The farmers take a long wooden pole to poke all the rice on the top of the tree, spread it on the threshing floor for three days, those hard and thorny husks will open their mouths, as long as they are gently beaten with wooden sticks, the rice will peel off from the husks, this kind of raw sweet nuts, if you use a knife to cut on the husks, put in a large iron pot to stir-fry, will exude an attractive fragrance.Before winter, the people living in the city of Elr would go into the wilderness and hills in droves to collect the rice, which was one of the main livelihoods of the people of El, although the people there thought the wheat tasted better.Ryan and Fanny are wealthy white-collar families in El City, and they certainly don't need Tracy and me to go to the mountains to pick up rice in the fall.But Tracy is always invited by her friends, and she will think of this activity as an autumn outing, collecting rice with her friends, which is quite a happy thing for Tracy, and occasionally she will take me with her, usually this happens when Fanny does not want Tracy to run around like a tomboy, and every time Tracy and her friends will find a hidden place, build a fire, and throw the chestnuts they pick up into the fire to cook.To tell the truth, even on the orc tribe's side, I have never seen such a shoddy picnic, and nine times out of ten the trees in the fire are burned to black coal, but the smell of the rice is no different.The aroma of roasted chestnuts wafted through my memories and wafted through this noisy square.At this time I saw Lady Arya's valet carrying a bag of roasted chestnuts wrapped in paper, deftly weaving through the crowd, wearing a long white sleeveless silk dress, with a deep neckline and a belt around her waist, which made her slightly taller and thinner figure look fuller, and her long golden hair was softly draped behind her head, and she walked like a cheerful fawn.Among the crowds of people who came and went, there were always some merchants who were very active in the imperial capital, and some people recognized Lady Arya, but before the identity of Lady Arya was confirmed, it was a very rude thing to recklessly talk to a noblewoman, and all the merchants stopped in the crowd and kept looking this way.In the imperial capital, if a commoner harasses a woman with a noble status, he will be punished with a degree of whipping, and if in the process, he also says some obscene words, then the palm is inevitable, and the torture instrument of the palm is an oak board, which only takes three or five strokes to knock out all the teeth in the mouth, don't expect those old men of the Imperial Capital Judicial Bureau to take special care of the commoners.Lady Arya wears a gorgeous court-style gown that will reveal a large area of height.
Shrugging chest.
Breasts and round fragrant shoulders, but two black gauze gloves have spread to the elbows, in her right arm with a jade armband, crystal clear, it seems to flow the breath of magic, as if there are clouds in the bracelet flowing, under the reflection of the slanting sun, exuding a magnificent light, attracting the attention of many passers-by.No matter where she is, she can be the center of attention because she has a dazzling light on her.I got up from the bench, stood in front of her, smiled and asked her, "Why are you here?"
”"I made an appointment with His Royal Highness Qige, today is the day of reconciliation, I have to go to the Magic Research Institute at this time of every week, but I rarely meet with you."
Lady Arya raised her delicate eyebrows, raised her white chin, and gently opened her sensual and red lips, and said to me casually.I looked at her condescendingly, her eyes clear and with a woman's strong confidence.I could see her breasts clearly.
How majestic the front is, the deep groove squeezed out by the long skirt of the dress looks more and more bottomless.Lady Arya pointed to the paper bag that her maid Betty was holding, and said with a smile on my face, "I love the roasted rice in the square of the Tower of Pride, and it tastes like home!"
”Betty handed over the paper bag at the right time, she reached out and took out a roasted chestnut that was browned and cracked like a smile, skillfully peeled off the shell, and naturally placed it in her mouth, her snow-white teeth gently bit the chestnut, reached out in front of her mouth and chewed twice, swallowed the chestnut in her mouth, and then said to me with emotion: "This roasted chestnut will remind me of the town of Marco that is no longer there, and my whole childhood, I feel that the days were really happy." ”Lady Arya seemed to have recovered from the grief of Count Zimmermann's death, but she seemed to be a little nostalgic for the past, and it seemed that she was a little nostalgic for life in the North.I asked her, "Do you want to go back to the north for a while?"
If you want to go, you have to hurry up, winter is coming. ”She shook her head silently, and we both fell silent for a moment.I stood in front of her like this, not sitting down, nor did Lady Arya get up from the bench, and after a moment she casually reached out to cover her chest, and said to me casually, "I just came out of the door of the Tower of Pride and saw you sitting here in a daze, as if I came to see you, do you have something on your mind?"
”I smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how I can put those lingering worries behind me and live a happier life." ”Madame Arya took a sip and asked me, "Are you not satisfied with the most beautiful princess of the imperial capital and the most favored princess marrying you silently?"
What can you worry about?
”I pondered for a moment, went to Lady Arya's side, and whispered in her ear, "There are still some troubles, such as whether you can pass the junior master qualification exam next month!"
How can we get the approval of the royal family of Angelboy, or how will we go in the future?
”"How many people in the imperial capital are silently watching me, and if I don't perform well enough, they will point fingers at me behind me, and some people may say: Look, that person is the man who married His Royal Highness Qige and Princess Yingli, and it's not very good" I don't know why, some things that I have never said to others buried in my heart are just to say it to Lady Arya.She looked at me with a smile and shoved a peeled roasted chestnut into my mouth, there was no trace of ridicule or contempt in her eyes, but she felt that she was listening carefully at this moment.I felt that she was a good listener, and I looked around at the sky that was gradually darkening, half of the sky was burning with clouds, and the square of the Tower of Pride was shrouded in huge shadows, but more and more people were paying attention to our side.The Yerkes scholars would arrive a little later, and the Kiger lab was busy, so I had some time to spare, so I asked Lady Arya, "Would you like to find a place to have a drink?"
”"Good!
But are you sure you can?
”Lady Arya readily agreed, then held out her finger and pointed at the Tower of Pride.I scratched my head and said, "I can't drink too late with you, I'll have to finish drawing a full set of magic pattern constructs tonight." ”With a shallow smile, Lady Arya stood up from the bench with a smug look in her eyes, and stood beside me.I followed her to my feet, holding out my arm, and she stepped further, holding my arm, and we weaved through the crowd in the square.Her valet followed quietly."
Why didn't you see Katarina?"
Lady Arya asked me.Her scent seemed to smell good, and her slender hand was on my arm, following my steps towards the backstreets of the Tower of Pride.Of course, the merchants who secretly stopped by the side knew very well that at this time, it was definitely Lady Arya who gritted her teeth and held grudges, so she silently retreated, so that at least they could see each other in the future.Speaking of which, Caterina is still very concerned about the affairs of Trum Town, she has a deep affection for Trum, although it will not be rebuilt on the original site of the Trum stronghold, but the construction of a Trum Town is also a very meaningful thing for Caterina.These days, Caterina has been preoccupied with this matter.I said to Mrs.
Arya, "She has been busy preparing for the construction of the town of Trem lately, and she has been a little anxious about some trivial matters, and I would have asked you to help her, but she is not very good at these shops." ”Lady Arya seemed interested, and said to me, "Well, you can let her come to me at any time, or I can go to her, and you want to build a town?"
Where is it?
”When she spoke, she was like a happy little girl, and the hand holding my arm didn't seem so peaceful, and her whole upper body leaned over, and the fullness and softness were clinging to my arm.I could clearly feel the heat emanating from Lady Arya's body, but she seemed to be unaware.As I looked at the taverns lining the backstreets of the Tower of Pride, I said, "The Tello region of Tanton City in the Hierro plane. ”Lady Arya tilted her head and asked me, "If I remember correctly, I heard you talk about the outside, the plane that the Royal Academy of Magic organized this year?"
”I nodded.She asked me in surprise: "You have territory over there?"
”I coughed lightly and nodded again.She asked me again, "So, which duke is in charge of that plane?"
”I replied, "Duke of Samoyed." ”Lady Arya knows everything about the nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, of course she also knows the Duke of Samoyed, and when she heard his name, Lady Arya's eyes lit up and said to me: "It turned out to be him!"
No wonder before he didn't hesitate to offend Ryan.
Duke Bussman, I also want to stand up and speak for you, it turns out that you have a large territory on that plane, which is big enough to build a town!
”I corrected, "It's just a town, not a town!"
”"That's also very good, I didn't expect you to be a little lord at such a young age."
Lady Arya said happily.Lady Arya looked around with a hint of contempt in her eyes.The street is lined with wine shops, and many nobles and magicians like to come here for a drink or two.She leaned into my ear and said, "Speaking of which, the imperial capital is full of aristocrats, how many of them have rich private territories?"
”Every nobleman with a title has a private territory of his own, just like me, when I was a student at the Junior School of Magic in El City, I also had a private territory, but it was a barren land, which could also be interpreted as a land of the abandoned plane whose resources had been mined, and those dukes and lords had a lot of that barren land in their hands.As for the rich territory, it was precious to the nobles.These territories require the nobles to organize their own combat teams to fight in those undeveloped and rich planes, and the occupied territories will be distributed according to the four-three-three distribution system, and a part of the land will be dedicated to the royal family and the rulers of the plane of the Grimm Empire, and the rest will belong to them.Lady Arya said, "But building a small town is a very energy-consuming thing, and it really doesn't matter if you are still studying in the imperial capital?"
”As I walked, I said, "I'll try to squeeze in as much time as possible, the Duke of Samoyed has asked me to build a town within two years, or I'll reclaim that territory." ”To be honest, since discovering the secret that the Hammer of the Temporal Breaker can open the portal between the two mountains, I am full of confidence in the construction of the town of Trum, and all the problems that I have lacked skill in the past have been solved, because I can rely on the Hammer of the Temporal Breaker to cross the rift of time and space at any time, and shuttle back and forth between the Trum area and the imperial capital.But before that, I have to go to Trump again and memorize the spatial coordinates over there.Speaking of which, I later tried to open the third portal, but it turned out to be unworkable.Just around the corner of the backstreet of the Tower of Pride, Lady Arya stopped and said to me, "Listen to Kig, you've been painting the Magic Pattern for the Yerkes Scholar lately?"
”Her gaze fell on the plaque of a bar with an attic, on which hung a row of goblets that always tinkled when the wind blew."
Yes!"
I replied, and then said to Lady Arya, "It's been a long time since we've had a drink together, but you seem to be much more energetic now than you were before." ”Lady Arya stroked her long hair from her ears and smiled noncommittally, her smile so charming.We walked through the door of the bar, and when we walked in, we realized that the inside of the bar was quite distinctively decorated.The bar is a circular room with plenty of light shining through the many bowed glass windows, colored spotlights dappling the tiled floor, brightening the slightly faded blankets, and some beautiful girls in sheer dresses stand on a raised platform and dance in the light.The walls are decorated with carved wood paneling, embellished with paintings covered with gold leaf, and the alcove covered by white gauze curtains supports the platform, and it is surrounded on three sides by large upholstered sofas with gold brocade and silk upholstery with tassels, several large wardrobes and two rare parquet wooden boxes on all sides.
