As it gets late, the afterglow of the west falls evenly on the frontier town, as if it has been painted with a reddish layer of paint.Under the gaze of the crowd, Owen walked to the pyre in the middle of the square with a torch.The firewood was drenched in grease, and as soon as the torches got a little closer, they ignited instantly with a pop, and at the same time, the lively atmosphere of this Spring Festival party reached its peak.Next, more than a dozen lizardmen lined up neatly to enter the field.They circle around the campfire and perform simple but strange dances to the rhythm of clapping hands.This is a dance that Rusha has planned that many people can participate in together - the bonfire dance.Owen watched with interest.It is said that this is a dance that the entire Shensha tribe takes part in during major festivals, such as the marriage of the patriarch, and is enjoyed by all.Rusha brought their signature dance to allow humans and lizardmen to deepen their friendship by dancing together.While dancing in circles around the campfire, some lizardfolk will break away from the party and invite nearby humans to join in and dance with them.At first, only the militia gladly accepted and jumped into the ranks to dance with the lizardmen.After all, they fought together in the winter and trusted each other.Seeing the militiamen and the lizardmen dancing together without any fuss, and making such a fuss, the townsfolk gradually let down their last guard and happily blended in.As the number of participants increases, it is clear that one team is not enough.Led by the lizardmen, they split into two concentric circles and continued to dance around the bonfire.The happy scene between the two sides really made Owen feel very gratified.Lusha broke away from the group in the middle of the group and happily said to Owen, "Lord Lord, you see, the bonfire dance of our Shensha tribe is still very popular here. ”"Indeed."
Owen nodded, "Your campfire dance is very contagious. ”This also deepened Owen's understanding of the lizardmen.I thought that lizardmen were only generally stronger than humans in terms of physical strength, and that they lived a primitive tribal life in the forest, so there should be nothing to do.As a result, I didn't expect them to have some good art when it comes to celebrating festivals.It's because I'm biased, but I can't be like the old school in the church, Owen introspectively reflects."
Hey, of course."
Lu Sha was very proud, and then invited: "My lord, why don't you come and dance with everyone?"
”"Huh?
I?
”Owen was stunned.Speaking of dance, he had learned that ballroom dancing might be used at aristocratic balls."
The campfire dance is easy."
Rusha continued."
Wait!"
Clive on the side couldn't help but stand up and stopped, "Rusha, how can you let Lord Marquis do such a vulgar dance?!"
”"What vulgar is not vulgar!"
Lu Sha looked at him unhappily, "Then you say, what should the dance look like?"
”"A true dance should be romantic and elegant!"
Clive confidently describes: "In the palatial hall, handsome men extend invitations to beautiful young ladies.Then under the envious gaze of everyone, he danced to the beautiful music.After the ball, the man and woman fell in love and had a fiery love.Looks like you agree with what I said?
Miss Jarvis Knight. ”I saw a yearning expression on Mapell's face.Hearing someone asking her, she came back to her senses half a beat late."
Huh?
I, I ......," said Mapel, who hesitated for a long time, "I half agree, half disagree." ”Last time, Marpel ran away due to shyness, but the next day she appeared in the castle as if nothing had happened.Owen knew that as the chief knight, she wanted to do her job well, so she didn't mention that day at all.The two sides returned to their previous state."
Huh?
Why are they half in favor and half in disagreement?
”Clive looked surprised.After listening to the other party's description, Lu Sha disgusted: "What you said is so troublesome, as long as everyone dances happily, isn't this okay." ”"Rusha is right."
Owen intervened at the right time: "There is no distinction between high and low dance, no matter what kind of dance it is, we should respect it.Let's go, Rusha. ”With that, he walked in the direction of the campfire."
Huh?
Lord Marquis, you really want to go!
”Clive had an incredulous look on his face."
Of course."
Owen said without looking back.Mapel hesitated for a moment, then followed.There's nothing wrong with being a lord who has fun with the people, Owen thought to himself.The lord actually wants to dance the bonfire dance with everyone?!
This made the people present surprised and delighted, and felt that Owen was too close to the people and too friendly.Of course, Owen didn't jump for long, and quietly retired after a round.Now that the time was almost up, he was going to a dinner party.This Spring Festival party is mainly for civilians and lizardmen, and it is hoped that the two sides will continue to live in harmony in the future.As for the closing speech of the Spring Festival, it will be good to hand it over to Clive at that time.In the hall of the lord's castle, a farewell banquet has been prepared.The attendees were mainly Templars, but also Bishop Flynn and the priests who treated the wounded in the hospital, almost all of them members of the Church.It's not that Owen doesn't let them attend the festival, it's just that the custom in the past is to invite the Templars to the farewell party, and it's unclear whether they are interested in the folk celebrations.At the farewell feast, Owen thanked those present for their contributions to the fight against the undead monsters, and wished the Templars a safe return before allowing them to eat and drink as they pleased.In the middle of the banquet, Owen and Viscount Jarvis, Bishop Flynn, and Bray quietly came to the reception room, apparently having something to discuss in secret.Bray was the first to speak, "Lord Marquis, before we return tomorrow, I would like to talk to you about the weapons you use on the northern wall. ”"No problem, you say."
Owen responded."
Muskets and cannons are weapons beyond our imagination, and I will certainly inform His Holiness the Pope of this when I return.To be honest, the appearance of these weapons made me see how future wars would change, and neither knights nor magicians would be opponents of muskets and artillery.Therefore, I would like you to cooperate with the Holy Church of Caleb. ”After a pause, Bray continued: "Finally, I would like to ask if I can buy you a musket to show to His Holiness the Pope." ”"Hey, you can see the potential of muskets and artillery."
Viscount Jarvis touched his chin."
Of course."
Bray was no less experienced on the battlefield than Viscount Jarvis, so it was natural to see it."
No problem, I can sell you."
Unexpectedly, Owen agreed so quickly that the other three were stunned."
Lord Marquis, I am very glad that you can agree."
Bishop Flynn said, "But you don't have any conditions?
For example, we are not allowed to copy or something?
”"It doesn't matter, if you want to imitate, you can imitate it, the core technology is not so easy to imitate."
The core technology here refers to the formulation of black powder.Without gunpowder, muskets and artillery would not work.Of course, the Holy Sect of Caleb can also research the recipe of black powder on its own.It will certainly take a while, and by then Owen may have switched to better gunpowder.In addition, the musket will also be updated, and Owen is not afraid of imitation by the other party at all."
Moreover, I know that the Holy Church of Caleb is now in power by the New Sect, and your ideas are very peaceful, and racial equality is one of them.So I think there's a huge space for me to work with you. ”"You're ......," Bray looked surprised.Bishop Flynn was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down, presumably guessing why Owen knew about this."
New school?"
Viscount Jarvis was confused."
That's ......," Owen explained briefly.After listening, Viscount Jarvis nodded understandingly."
Marquis, do you agree with our philosophy?"

Bishop Flynn asked."
Of course."
Owen smiled and said, "Aren't the lizardmen in Frontier Town a good proof of that?"
That's why I dare to say that I can cooperate with you. ”"It's amazing!"
Bray said happily, "Lord Marquis, you are completely different from the nobles I have ever seen.I am confident that the Holy Church of Caleb will be able to cooperate with you with pleasure. ”"Well, we'll see."
