The Harvest Festival is also known as the Autumn Celebration.
More than a thousand years ago in the Valley Calendar, the Civil Code written by Morian Kallia, the first king of the ancient Kingdom of Kallia that was established here, states that all nobles and subjects will celebrate this day on this day.
, enjoy the joy brought by the harvest and celebrate the gifts of this land to mankind.
As a former part of the ancient Kalia Kingdom, Baviallo naturally has many daily festivals that are still in use today according to ancient methods without any changes.
The group of seagulls in the dock area also seemed to know that today was the autumn harvest celebration. They were either standing on the eaves or standing on the pillars of the plank road, and together with their passing companions, they played a song that could resound through half the city - in their memories
As generations change, today there is so much food that they can never finish it. The concept of being able to eat enough without having to follow fishing boats to grab food has never been forgotten.
Located in a wine estate in the aristocratic district of Palermo, it is also very lively, with dozens of servants coming and going between the kitchen and banquet hall.
The patriarch of the Edith family, Kamo Edith, and his wife gave birth to five children in total.
Among them, except for the second daughter Sovia Edith who died unfortunately and the fifth daughter who married to St. Lawrence, the other three children are all in Palermo.
Viscount Camo usually lives in the mansion of his eldest son, Faente Idis, the son of a well-known judge in Palermo. He lives with his two grandsons and granddaughters, and occasionally goes to the residence of his third son Sende.
Fishing in the dock area, and the estate of fourth daughter Susan Edith is difficult to visit.
Especially after his grandson Woody Aleister moved in, this old man who once served as the cavalry governor of the Kingdom of Bavialo, opened up territory for the kingdom and quelled monster disputes was not even mentioned.
In his words, when he sees Woody Aleister, he will think of his poor second daughter, Sonya, and her irresponsible son-in-law, Rhine Aleister.
He doesn't like his grandson, even though her blood flows through him.
Plus Susan herself.
Therefore, I would never think of inviting Viscount Camo to live in a wine estate.
If it weren't for a grand festival, it would be almost impossible for them to meet.
Outside the manor, after the two-box carriage engraved with the emblem of the Edith family stopped, two aristocratic young men in fine clothes got out of the carriage. When they saw Susan Edith waiting at the door of the manor, they stood up neatly.
She called her aunt, and then walked straight into the manor without daring to take another look at this graceful and majestic lady.
In their eyes, their aunt has always been polite to them, and her relationship with their father is not very good. In fact, they are not close, and they rely on their grandfather Kamo to maintain the bond.
But in fact, as a member of the House of Lords, Judge Faunt still needs the financial help of his sister Susan Edith in a sense, and Susan also needs the help of her brother as the heir to the title of Viscount in the House of Lords.
To a certain extent, the two of them help and support each other, and their relationship is not that tense.
It's just that Faente was committed to training his children to join politics or the military, and never thought of letting them inherit the business. Therefore, apart from official contacts, the two families did not have close personal relations.
In other words, Cromwell, who was responsible for delivering the money, might know her brother Faunt's mansion better than Susan did.
"Long time no see, sister!"
A middle-aged man wearing a gold-rimmed monocle, wearing aristocratic clothing, and dressed very gentlemanly, with half-white hair, also stepped out of a carriage at this moment, with a smile on his face, and walked towards Susan
go.
"Same, brother, the last time we met was at Viscount Quinn's banquet, haha."
Susan Edith also stepped forward very skillfully and gave her a kiss, and said with a smile.
At the same time, her eyes also turned to the elderly man who came down with the middle-aged man.
Her father - Kamo Edith.
"Father, are you okay?" she asked with concern.
"You can't die!" The old man, who was skinny but as straight as a pine tree, glanced coldly at his daughter, who was dressed in finery today, and replied harshly.
"Oh, father, there is no need for this. I just chose the path I want to take. What I should say was already made clear when we last met."
Susan Edith looked at her father's face and felt helpless knowing that he had relapsed into his old habits.
"Choose a path? Ho ho! Before your mother died, she hoped that you would marry a good husband, be a noble lady in peace, and enjoy life. Didn't you promise well at that time! Then what? Not yet?
Talking and scheming with others in the business world! That's what a man should do!"
The old man scolded sharply.
He has been on the battlefield for half his life, and it's not like he hasn't seen outstanding women, nor is he a male chauvinist.
I simply feel that the current Edith family needs reputation more than money.
However, when all the nobles in Palermo now mention the Edith family, their first impression is the story of the various wines sold in nearby city-states and the "Wine Queen".
Rather than the eldest son Faunt, who is the first heir and a member of the House of Lords.
As a result, Viscount Carmo heard some bad rumors in the city.
It is said that the Edith family, which once relied on military exploits to win titles, now needs a woman to stand at the front.
——The declining aristocracy.
This old man who no longer cares about money began to become paranoid. He sent people several times to persuade Susan to put down her career and find a husband who treats her well. This is the most important thing, but usually such messages will be ignored.
Ignored by Susan.
This also led to the deterioration of the relationship between father and daughter.
"Sooner or later, you will piss me off to death!"
Seeing that Susan Edith stopped talking back, it was pointless for the old man to talk alone.
I could only enter the winery with a cane and the support of my son, cursing.
Susan Edith was left standing alone at the door of the manor, facing the rising sun alone.
…
On the other side of the manor, in a remote corner.
"Cousin Woody, are you really not going to go?"
Today, like her mother, an aristocratic girl dressed in a pink pleated skirt is under the shade of a tree, with an expectant look on her face, as if she is waiting for the answer from the sweaty boy on the opposite training field.
Woody, on the other hand, was still meticulously holding a pair of swords, or a long sword and a dagger, at the training ground, practicing each move on the wooden stakes.
"It's fine if you go. If I go, it will only make the situation more embarrassing. You don't want to embarrass your mother, right?"
Woody wiped the sweat from his forehead. He naturally knew who was coming to today's banquet.
Maybe the previous owner didn't matter, but Woody could naturally see that the so-called Edith family could actually accommodate him only in this wine estate.
"Okay! Remember that night!"
Weilanduo could only wave her hands and leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Woody about her evening agreement.
Woody could only nod helplessly. He didn't care about his cousin's request to celebrate together.
After all, he just wanted to go out and lay down, and prepare the equipment for a long journey.
…
Whoosh!
The sword blade cut into the specially made wooden stake half an inch.
Then there was another flash of lightning, and the sharp blade of the other hand still penetrated the wooden stake under the ribs. With a slight pull, the intestines and internal organs could be pulled out together.
He is currently practicing dual-weapon combat. In addition to upgrading, the growth of strength also requires the accumulation of daily training.
Even in "Saint", there are a bunch of adventure players who spend a lot of time on dummy stakes every day.
Because this not only allows him to refine his fighting style, but also makes every move he makes faster and more powerful, allowing him to understand where his limits are.
Especially those legendary demon hunters who are proficient in assassination, they are very familiar with their own damage, when everything is calculated.
Then the probability of successful assassination will be 100%...
After hitting the wooden post with an unknown number of cross cuts, Woody was already sweating all over.
But when he saw the data emerging, Woody knew it was worth it.
——"Exercise completed."
——"You have mastered the art of using dual weapons, and you have a deeper understanding of how to attack with dual weapons!..."
