In his previous life, Reggie would never have imagined such a ridiculous move of injecting a bowl of warm decoction directly into a person's blood vessel.
But Camilla really did this.
What Reggie couldn't understand even more was that she did nothing wrong.
Four hours later, Modesa woke up, sweating all over. Camila prepared a bucket of potion and asked him to take a bath. After eating something, Modesa basically recovered.
"Did you catch that siren?"
"Are you talking about Ada? I asked the grand maester to lock her in a special cell." Reggie handed Ada to Batchelor and repeatedly warned her not to let anyone hear her.
singing.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. Batchelor doesn't want to see blood. He will interrogate this girl on the first day of the New Year.
"And that young man, have you caught him?"
"Tiel has been searching until night, but unfortunately nothing is found. I let him have a good night's rest. The assassin is not that easy to deal with. It is too dangerous to chase him at night, and I want Tyr to have a good year."
"Have a good year?" Modesa smiled slightly sarcastically, "You are really an optimistic person. Aren't you afraid that the slaves will attack Shattering Snow City tonight?"
"Is every slave an assassin?"
"You don't need so much," Modesa said, "Erwin is not here, I can't fight now, even another assassin can kill you, and tonight is a good opportunity, everyone is enjoying the New Year,
Not many people care about your life or death."
Reggie smiled bitterly and said, "It sounds like there are many people who care about me."
Modesa was amused. This time it was not a sarcasm, but she really laughed.
"What are you going to do about this?"
Reggie shrugged and said: "Interrogate the assassin, capture his accomplices, ask for the reasons, and take precautions."
"that's all?"
Reggie said: "Do you have a better way?"
"The best way is to kill all the slaves, but I know you won't do that."
"I bought them and then killed them. Don't you think it's stupid to do this?"
"I am a gladiator. The person who bought me likes to watch me kill others or be killed by others. Do you really think this is stupid?"
Reggie blinked helplessly. Modesa, who was usually taciturn, actually left him speechless.
"Do you have any idea who wants to kill you?"
Reggie thought for a moment and said, "If I guess correctly, this person should be from..."
"From the Golden Eagle Country, right?"
Reggie was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"
Modesa said: "I just had a dream about a dead friend. Last year, he told something that there was a young assassin in the Golden Eagle Kingdom. He was good at confusing his prey with the song of the siren.
, this killer’s name is Beautiful Boy Lester, I guess it’s him you met today.”
Reggie frowned and said, "Do you recognize this assassin?"
Modesa shook his head and said: "I don't recognize him, but he should recognize me. He once assassinated a noble in the stands of the arena. No one saw his appearance, but he should remember my appearance.
I killed a total of seven gladiators that day."
"No wonder he made the right decision and chose to attack you." Reggie suddenly realized.
"Yes," Modesa nodded. "If I hadn't been poisoned, he would have had no chance of escaping. In addition, I know one more thing. This killer only obeys the king's orders."
Reggie bit his lip and said, "It seems that the Golden Eagle Kingdom still doesn't intend to give up Shattering Snow City."
Modesa said: "The Golden Eagle Kingdom will not give up any inch of the land they want."
After chatting for a while, it was time for Reggie to leave. He also wanted to go to the bell tower to ring the New Year's bell.
According to the tradition of the Lion Kingdom, the lord has to ring the bell seventy times. This is not only a physical challenge, but also a destruction of hearing.
Although Shattered Snow City no longer belongs to the Kingdom of Ryan, Reggie did not want to ruin the festive atmosphere. At midnight, the New Year's bell rang on time.
Varese's tavern burst into cheers, Batchelor also raised his glass in the manor, Jarvan lit fireworks in the military camp, Calaf prayed silently in front of the altar, and Old Hill had already been drunk with Dexter.
Very drunk.
Imma stopped arguing with Camilla, she took out a bottle of wine, and under the influence of alcohol, the two decided to shake hands and make peace.
Shirley prepared a sumptuous dinner, and when Reggie came back, she and Dorothy performed a moving song and dance under the leadership of Tortosa.
What a beautiful night, even if the world ends tomorrow, it can't stop people from enjoying the joy of the New Year.
Of course, some families don't have such a good festive atmosphere. For example, Natalie's mother has never said a word to her since her father was arrested and served a sentence.
After a rather sumptuous dinner, her mother immediately returned to the room, praying and cursing Natalie in the most vicious words.
Natalie had long been accustomed to all this. She took out ten silver coins and stuffed them into her brother's hand. This was her New Year's gift to him.
Back in the room, Natalie opened the book she borrowed from the Grand Bachelor, flipping through the pages, slowly waiting for sleep to come.
After reading a volume of history books, Natalie was still sleepy. When she picked up "Fundamentals of Mathematics" written by Reggie, she heard a knock on the door.
It's not the bedroom door, it's the front door of the house.
Pushing open the door, Natalie rubbed her eyes. She suspected that she was dreaming, and it was Reggie standing at the door.
"Lord, Lord Lord, you, you are..."
"I know I shouldn't bother you at night like this, but I think of you as soon as I close my eyes. I guess you're not asleep yet. Would you like to do something crazy with me?"
Natalie's body trembled, not because of the cold, but because she was moved. She firmly believed that this was a New Year's gift given to her by the gods.
She held back her tears, nodded and said, "Sir, I am willing to do anything with you."
"Okay!" Reggie smiled, "Then let's set off now."
Set off? Isn’t it here?
Fool, what is your identity as Lord? How could you condescend to such a simple house?
Sitting in the carriage, Natalie felt very anxious. Will today be that special day? Will she be pregnant with the lord's child? If she is really pregnant, what kind of identity will the lord give her?
?
Don't think too far ahead, you are not qualified to ask for any identity, as long as you can get the love of adults, it is enough.
But I don’t understand anything, will I disappoint the lord?
If I had known that this day would come so quickly, I should have learned some skills from Catherine earlier.
Natalie was thinking wildly all the way, but when she arrived at the lord's back garden, all her worries and worries disappeared.
She misunderstood the "crazy thing" because she saw that Reggie had prepared the hot air balloon.
"I know this is crazy, but I really can't wait!" Reggie said with a smile, "How about we go to Hanfeng Fortress tonight? I miss my old friends so much!"
