Along the winding staircase of the castle, some sand and gravel have fallen off in the gaps between the walls on both sides. There are some oil paintings hanging on the walls, some are portraits, some pastoral scenes, moments on the battlefield, etc. Going up a little further, there are hangings on the walls.
There are some typical weapons, including spears, poleaxes, and crossbows.
Walking to the top of the tower, you can still see a row of ironwood longbows and quivers filled with fine steel arrows hanging in the corner of the door.
This tower looks like a watchtower. The spiral staircase spans a distance of twenty or thirty meters. The building at the top is round like a mushroom umbrella. When you walk in, you find that it has been arranged into a huge bedroom.
There is not only a large and soft bed inside, but also a heating fireplace, a dressing table and a separated bathroom.
The room has a total of eight windows, which allow you to see the surroundings of the castle, six of which are temporarily closed.
Beatrice walked to the dressing table and pushed open the wooden window. Suddenly, a fresh cold wind blew in from the outside. The snow on the top of the window eaves fell down, hit the window sill, and splashed into the room.
.
Hathaway walked up, looked at the layout of the room, walked to the bed and sat down.
She touched the bed with her hands and smiled at Suldak and said: "Beatrice and I have lived here for nearly two months. As long as the door below is locked, there is no other way except jumping out of the window and leaving."
There is no other way, so we lie here all day long, or sit at the window and look out at the scenery."
Surdak walked to the window and looked down. It was about six stories high from the ground. Although this height was still a bit dangerous for a swordsman like Hathaway, Surdak pressed his hands
He leaned on the window sill and looked at the snowy scene outside and said:
"Beatrice has been here with you?"
"Yes!" replied.
The two ladies and Suldak crowded together at the window and looked outside. The sunshine after the snow was a bit dazzling.
"Actually, what I want to say is that it would be nice to live here for a while." Suldak squinted his eyes, smelled the faint scent of perfume on the two ladies, and said with a smile. "I mean, if at that time
If you lock me here, I will never think of it as imprisonment..."
Beatrice looked at Suldak with her round eyes, full of obsession.
At this time, she would probably not refuse even if Surdak carried her to bed.
Hathaway's pretty face turned red, and she said to the two of them, "Let's go down and walk around."
The three of them first walked around the high tower where Hathaway was banned. Beatrice smiled and said that if they had known that the young nobleman Marquis Luther asked Hathaway to meet was Suldak, the two of them would have
No matter what I say, I won't be locked up in that tower for two months.
After walking down the tower, it was still a bit cold outside the castle. The maid who followed quickly brought a fox fur cloak and shawl. Even so, when they walked outside the castle, a cold wind blew in their faces, which also made Hathaway and Beatrice
Liz held her breath and took a while to adapt before walking down the stairs.
There is a very exquisite garden in the courtyard behind the castle. Next to the garden is a training ground. There is a row of neat stables built against the wall of the training ground.
A heavy snowfall immediately casts a layer of silvery makeup on the withered and depressing scenery in winter.
Not far away, Mrs. Mabel and her three daughters were walking on the snow in the garden. The two young people gathered around them to show their kindness, and they seemed to be very happy, talking and laughing all the way.
Hathaway decisively turned around and walked along the other side of the garden towards the snow-covered pool. There were several stone towers spaced far apart. The tops of the stone towers looked like blooming flowers and looked very much like water dishes.
, at this time, the tops had been cleaned by the servants, and some grain and grass seeds were sprinkled on them. At this time, many birds were attracted to eat.
Worried about disturbing the dining birds, the three stopped fifty yards away from the stone tower.
"What are you usually busy with in Wall Village?" Hathaway asked Suldak curiously.
Surdak pondered for a moment and said: "Basically, it's about territory construction and the like. I'm improving the living environment in Wall Village, which has been suffering from drought all year round, so I built a reservoir in the upper reaches of the valley. It's very spectacular. Basically
We solved the irrigation problem of all the wheat fields in Wall Village and renovated the houses. The houses there are basically thatched houses. Once there is such a heavy snow in winter, I don’t know how many houses will have their roofs collapse.
Come down, so we have been renovating the house before winter. Sometimes we will stay at the sulfur mine for a while, preparing to redevelop my territory."
"Can I go take a look?" Hathaway asked expectantly.
Surdak said without hesitation: "Of course, you are welcome!"
Hathaway and Beatrice gathered together and whispered for a while, seemingly discussing when would be a better time to go to Wall Village.
After walking a little further, we came to a row of stables beside the wall. The stables in Marquis Luther's Mansion were also very beautifully built. Although they were completely made of wood, all the wooden boards of the stables were painted with varnish. At this time,
It was covered with a thick layer of snow, and two grooms were squatting at the door of the hay house next to the stable, cutting grass, and stuffing some bean feed and wheat bran into the alfalfa hay.
When the grooms saw Hathaway and Beatrice approaching, they quickly stood up and saluted.
"Would you like to see my horse?" Hathaway asked Suldak proudly, like a child who wanted to show off a new toy.
"Okay!" Suldak said cheerfully.
The grooms were very discerning and immediately went into the stables and took out Hathaway's horse.
A war horse with green scales all over its body. This kind of high-end war horse is very common on the battlefield. It is usually the mount of knights. There is also a black scale war horse with purer blood. This green scale horse is black scale.
The hybrid horse between the horse and the ancient Borai horse not only inherits the explosive power and excellent physical strength of the black scale war horse, but also has the excellent endurance of the ancient Borai horse.
This blue-scaled horse was very handsome. When he saw Hathaway, he immediately came close to her and put his huge horse's head into her arms.
The so-called blue scales do not mean that the war horse has a layer of blue scales on its body, but a layer of fine hair with fine scale-like patterns on its body.
Surdak looked at the tattoos on the green-scaled horse and couldn't help but think of the scales growing on his arms. He suddenly felt a sense of oppression and thought about rewarding the skin of his arms with the same tattoos as the green-scaled horse.
If there are some scaly patterns, that would be really unlucky.
Thinking of Lord Johannes, Suldak cursed secretly in his heart.
"This is my horse, do you want to ride it around?" Hathaway put her arm around the horse's head and introduced her beloved horse to Suldak, hoping that they would get a little familiar with it.
Just as Surdak was about to get closer, the green-scaled war horse's hair exploded, letting out a long neigh, and stood up towards the Surdak, almost knocking Hathaway to the ground.
The groom behind quickly rushed up and grabbed the reins of the green-scaled horse desperately to subdue it.
Hathaway was also startled, wondering what happened just now. Her beloved horse, who was usually very good-tempered, was almost frightened when he saw Suldak.
She glanced at Suldak again. She could see clearly just now that Suldak was standing there without making any movement, and was still smiling at her...
The green-scaled war horse paved the ground restlessly, refusing to approach Surdak no matter what.
In fact, Suldak wanted to tell Hathaway: I also have a similar pet at home, but it is a little bigger. He probably has some aura on him, which is why the war horse was shocked.
Since they couldn't ride a horse, Hathaway and Beatrice took Suldak around the Marquis Luther's Mansion before asking the housekeeper to arrange a guest room for Suldak. Hathaway
Both he and Beatrice had the habit of taking naps, so they let Surdak rest in the guest room and left two maids to serve Surdak.
Last night, Surdak basically didn't sleep much. Now suddenly there was a warm and comfortable big bed in front of him. He washed his face a little, took off his leather armor and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Maybe he was too tired, or the bed was too comfortable, and there was no one to disturb him in the guest room. When Surdak woke up and opened the curtains, he realized that it was already dusk outside. He looked for the sunset along the edge of the sky, and half of it gradually faded away.
Sinking into the sunset.
Surdak was wearing a linen shirt and standing at the window.
When I wake up, I feel energetic and relaxed...
He stretched out and felt that all the joints in his body were cracking.
"The lady ordered us to add some leaves of the Ningshen flower in the incense burner, so that you may sleep longer. The lady asked you to wake up and let us take you to her side." A maid was behind Suldak.
Said softly.
Surdak turned around and nodded to the maid.
Of course he knew Ningshenhua. This magical herb is the main ingredient for preparing spiritual potions. It is basically difficult to buy in the magic market nowadays, and a bottle of spiritual potions is even harder to find. Unexpectedly, when he was sleeping, Heather
Wei actually uses the leaves of the Ningshen flower as incense, which is really a low-key luxury.
He walked to the clothes rack and planned to put on the salamander leather armor that was still good enough, when he saw a maid coming over carrying a wooden tray with a pile of neatly folded lake blue dresses.
The maid stood in front of Surdak and whispered: "This is the dress that the senior tailor Master Gilini and the needlework girl made for you while you were sleeping. You try it on first. Master Gilini is still waiting outside.
If there’s anything that doesn’t fit, it can be corrected immediately.”
Surdak didn't expect that he only had a good night's sleep, and even the dress was made in a hurry. It seemed that he was completely recognized by Marquis Luther.
Putting on the exquisite lake blue dress with dark patterns, Suldak's aristocratic temperament suddenly improved a lot. He walked to the mirror and saw the handsome and upright knight in the mirror. For a moment, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
